AN ACT TO RECONSTITUTE THE NORTH CAROLINA CAPITAL PLANNING COMMISSION.

 

Whereas, the General Assembly is called upon at each session to appropriate large sums of money for the location and construction of buildings so that up-to-date building requirements are maintained for State governmental agencies in the City of Raleigh and its environs; and

Whereas, it is necessary to schedule future appropriation requests in order to formulate long-range capital improvements as required for State central governmental agencies in the City of Raleigh and its environs and to recommend acquisition of land as required for these improvements; and

Whereas, only two members of the General Assembly now sit upon the North Carolina Capital Planning Commission; and
