A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE EDGECOMBE COUNTY TO LEVY A COUNTYWIDE SUPPLEMENTAL SCHOOL TAX.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The board of commissioners of a county may levy a special tax within the county to supplement the funds from State and county allotments and thereby operate schools of a higher standard by supplementing any local current expense item of expenditure in the school budget.  This supplemental school tax may be levied without approval of the voters of the county.  The proceeds of the supplemental school tax may be used only to supplement the local current expense funds of the school administrative units in the taxing county.  If there is more than one local school administrative unit in the county, the funds must be apportioned according to the membership of each unit as provided in G.S. 115C-430.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, the supplemental school tax authorized by this section is governed by the provisions of Article 36 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes.
Section 2.  This act applies only to Edgecombe County.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
