AN ACT to authorize grants to reimburse counties for conducting early voting at satellite locations.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. The North Carolina State Board of Elections shall make grants as specified in Section 2 of this act to certain counties that provided additional one‑stop absentee voting sites in the 2000 General Election at locations other than the county board of elections office or the county courthouse.

Under no circumstances shall any new grants by the State Board, under this act, be funded by any new appropriations. No other grants from funds previously appropriated, but not granted, to the State Board of Elections by S.L. 2000‑136, for grants to counties to provide additional one‑stop absentee voting shall be made other than those specified in Section 2 of this act, and any remaining funds from that appropriation shall revert to the General Fund on June 30, 2001.
