A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to APPROPRIATE funds to build the North Carolina freedom park.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to North Carolina Freedom Park, a nonprofit corporation, the sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) in nonrecurring funds for the 2019‑2020 fiscal year to build a public sculpture park in downtown Raleigh to commemorate historic and ongoing struggles for freedom in North Carolina, especially the enduring roles of African‑Americans in the struggle for freedom in this State. The park will be built on space between the Legislative Building and the Governor's Mansion. These funds shall not be expended unless North Carolina Freedom Park raises the sum of one million seven hundred thousand dollars ($1,700,000) in non‑State funds to match the sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) in State funds appropriated in this act.
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2019.
