A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ADD TWO AT-LARGE MEMBERS TO THE CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG BOARD OF EDUCATION AND TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Section 2(a) of Chapter 167 of the 1993 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"(a)	In 1995 and quadrennially thereafter, three members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education shall be elected for four-year terms by all the qualified voters of Mecklenburg County. In 2001 and quadrennially thereafter, two members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education shall be elected for four-year terms by all the qualified voters of Mecklenburg County. Effective with the organizational meeting after the 2001 election, the size of the board is expanded by two members."
SECTION 2.  The Board of Commissioners of Mecklenburg County consists of 11 members, with five members all nominated and elected by the qualified voters of the entire county, and six members residing respectively in the six districts provided by law. Effective with the organizational meeting after the 2002 election, the board is expanded to 11 members as provided by this section.
SECTION 3.  To the extent that Section 2 of this act conflicts with Section 1 of the resolution adopted under G.S. 153A-58 by the Board of Commissioners of Mecklenburg County on August 10, 1992, this act prevails to the extent of the conflict.
SECTION 4.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
