NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1961 SESSION

CHAPTER 1050

SENATE BILL 480

AN ACT TO EXTEND THE TIME FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE 1961-62 STANLY COUNTY BUDGET RESOLUTION AND FOR TURNING OVER THE STANLY COUNTY TAX BOOKS TO THE TAX COLLECTOR.

WHEREAS, on account of a revaluation of property in Stanly County, it appears that the board of county commissioners will not be able to adopt and record on its minutes a budget resolution by the 28th day of July, 1961, as required by G. S. 153-120 as contained in the 1959 Cumulative Supplement, and will therefore need additional time within which to adopt and record such budget resolution; and,

WHEREAS, on account of said revaluation, it appears that the tax receipts and stubs for 1961 taxes cannot be prepared and delivered to the tax collector for Stanly County on or before the first Monday in October, 1961, as required by G. S. 105-325, and that additional time will be needed within which to prepare said tax receipts and stubs and to deliver the same to the Tax Collector for Stanly County: Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1. G. S. 153-120 as contained in the 1959 Cumulative Supplement is hereby amended by changing the period (.) at the end of the first sentence to a semicolon (;) and adding thereafter the following: "provided, that the Board of Commissioners of Stanly County shall have until the 28th day of September, 1961, within which to adopt and record on its minutes the 1961-62 budget resolution."

Sec. 2. G. S. 105-325 is hereby amended by adding a new sentence at the end of the first paragraph to read as follows: "The 1961 tax receipts and stubs shall be delivered to the Tax Collector of Stanly County on or before the first Monday in December, 1961."

Sec. 3. This Act shall apply only to Stanly County and shall not apply to any incorporated city or town in said county, and shall apply only to the 1961-62 budget resolution and only to the 1961 tax receipts and stubs.

Sec. 4. If any provision of this Act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Act are declared to be severable.

Sec. 5. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 6. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 19th day of June, 1961.
