The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  The text of present G.S. 120-30.10, as it appears in 1974 General Statutes Replacement Volume 3B, is designated subsection (a) and new subsections (b) and (c) are added to read as follows:

"(b)      The cochairmen of the Legislative Research Commission may appoint additional members of the General Assembly to work with the regular members of the Research Commission on study committees. The terms of the additional study committee members shall be limited by the same provisions as apply to regular commission members, and they may be further limited by the appointing authorities.

(c)        The cochairmen of the Legislative Research Commission may appoint persons who are not members of the General Assembly to advisory subcommittees. The terms of advisory subcommittee members shall be limited by the same provisions as apply to regular commission members, and they may be further limited by the appointing authorities."

Sec. 2.  G.S. 120-30.11, as it appears in 1974 General Statutes Replacement Volume 3B, is amended by adding "held in the odd-numbered calendar years" at the end of the first sentence, by replacing the word "regular" with the word "biennial" near the end of the second sentence, and by adding "in the following odd-numbered calendar year" at the end of the second sentence.

Sec. 3.  G.S. 120-30.18, as it appears in 1974 General Statutes Replacement Volume 3B, is amended by deleting all the language after the first sentence, and adding the following:

"Members of the General Assembly serving on the Legislative Research Commission or its study committees shall be reimbursed for travel and subsistence expenses at the rates set out in G.S. 120-3.1. Advisory subcommittee members shall be reimbursed and compensated at the rates set out in G.S. 138-5 (public members) and G.S. 138-6 (State officials or employees). All expenses of the commission shall be paid from funds appropriated for the commission."

Sec. 4.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 23rd day of June, 1975.
