NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1981 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 346

HOUSE BILL 462

 

 

AN ACT TO ALLOW GOVERNMENTAL PURCHASES OF FUEL BY INFORMAL BID REGARDLESS OF DOLLAR AMOUNT.

 

Whereas, conditions in the petroleum market make it difficult for petroleum product suppliers to offer firm bids for future deliveries; and

Whereas, it is often to the advantage of public bodies to make "spot" purchases of petroleum products after receiving informal competition; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1. The first paragraph of G.S. 143-129 is amended by adding the following language at the end:

"Further, the provisions of this section shall not apply to the purchase of gasoline, diesel fuel, alcohol fuel, motor oil or fuel oil. Such purchases shall be subject to G.S. 143-131."

Sec. 2. All laws, public and local, in conflict with this act are repealed to the extent of the conflict.

Sec. 3. This act is effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 11th day of May, 1981.
