365足彩下载公报

The General Assembly dropped its final gavel 的 2016 short session in the late hours of July 1 after addressing a number of provisions of municipal interest, in some cases improving them before approval or dropping potentially harmful measures. The roughly 10 weeks of legislating closed as League staff worked diligently with lawmakers to ensure the best possible outcomes on proposals that were in circulation. The League would again like to thank all lawmakers who worked with the League 和 individual municipalities to better underst和 their concerns 和 hear how healthy cities 和 towns benefit the entire state.

回顾2016年会议最后阶段的一些活动:

• HB 483土地使用法规变更: Passed - After weeks of intense pressure 和 negotiations by municipal officials 和 l和-use law practitioners across the state, 立法者最终将HB 483的大部分内容搁置一边. 而不是, 就在本年度休会前几小时, they signed off on a proposal that granted statutory vested rights for multi-phase developments for a period of seven years. The vested rights period would begin upon site plan approval for the initial phase 的 multi-phase development, 法案中定义的术语. 立法机关于7月1日批准了该法案. 点击这里 查看365足彩下载此前对该法案早期措辞的报道.

The bill went to the House Rules Committee on June 28 和 never resurfaced.
• SB 481基金小企业/DOR裁决/城市道路: Passed - The League worked with bill sponsors 和 other stakeholders to delay until July 1, 2017, implementation of a provision that would prohibit cities from charging utility companies fees for work in municipal rights-of-way. That amendment ensured that cities that had already passed budgets containing revenues from these fees wouldn't have budget holes at the start 的 new fiscal year. The same bill also includes legal exemptions that enable small businesses to crowdfund, 或者从北卡罗来纳州的普通投资者那里筹集资金. 立法机关于6月29日批准了该法案.
• SB 326地方政府/建筑物/结构/检查: Passed - Places restrictions on the ways cities run rental registration programs.

HB 630包括保护这些公共供水系统的语言. 立法机关于6月30日批准了该法案.
• HB 972执法记录/无公共记录: Passed - The passage of this bill followed League-member presentations to an interim legislative study committee on the many complex issues related to law enforcement agencies' use of body-worn cameras.

• Regulatory Reform Package: Did not pass - The chambers left without agreement on a large regulatory reform package.
