AN ACT TO PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED BY PUPILS IN SCHOOL BUS ACCIDENTS.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Claims may be paid out of the settlement funds appropriated by this act notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary; provided, however, that no claim shall be paid unless a release is executed whereby all further claims against the State in behalf of the injured pupil are relinquished.

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification, and it shall apply to injuries sustained during 1976-77, and subsequent fiscal years.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of July, 1977.
