A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO EXEMPT COUNTIES AND CITIES FROM THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING PUBLIC CONTRACTS WHEN CONSTRUCTING CERTAIN METAL BUILDINGS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 143-135.1A.  Contracts for the construction of metal buildings.
This Article does not apply to building contracts in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or less let by counties, cities, towns, or other subdivisions of the State for metal buildings that are designated by the North Carolina State Building Code as Type IV construction.  The Secretary of Administration and other State officers, employees, or agencies shall have no duties or responsibilities concerning these contracts, but the services of the Department of Administration shall be made available to any county, city, town, or other subdivision of the State with regard to these contracts, upon request of the governmental entity."
Section 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1997, and applies to contracts entered into on or after that date.
