A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW JAIL IN SWAIN COUNTY.
Whereas, the existing Swain County jail was built in 1928; and
Whereas, this facility no longer meets State or federal guidelines making it functionally obsolete; and
Whereas, the anticipated increase in the average jail population warrants the construction of a new jail; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to Swain County the sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000) for the 1997-98 fiscal year to construct a new jail for use by Swain County, neighboring counties, the State of North Carolina, and the United States marshal's service.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1997.
