A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to appropriate funds to establish an additional assistant district attorney position in prosecutorial district eight to allow for the assignment of senior assistant district attorneys to the family court pilot in that district.

Whereas, the Eighth Prosecutorial District is serving as a pilot family court district as recommended by the Commission for the Future of Justice and the Courts in North Carolina, in an effort to bring consistency, efficiency, and fairness to the resolution of family and juvenile justice matters; and
Whereas, in order to function in the manner foreseen by the Commission, the family court pilot needs to have senior assistant district attorneys assigned to it; and
Whereas, the number of full‑time assistant district attorney positions established for the Eighth Prosecutorial District is proving to be insufficient to allow for those senior assistant district attorneys' assignment to family court without the sacrifice of other prosecutorial duties in the District; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 7A‑60(a1) reads as rewritten:
"(a1)	The counties of the State are organized into prosecutorial districts, and each district has the counties and the number of full‑time assistant district attorneys set forth in the following table:
