| | Sponsors: | Adams (D58); Wainwright (D12); Howard (R79) | | Title: | MODIFY HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAX EXCLUSION | | Status: | 03/08/2011 House Committee On Finance
| | Comments: | This bill would increae the income eligibility limit to qualify for the Homestead Exemption to $35,000. It was increased to $25,000 effective July 1, 2008. It keeps the same annual cost-of-living adjustments currently in place, but allows an applicant to deduct "short-term and long-term capital losses, as defined in section 1222" of the Internal Revenue Code. The change would become effective July 1, 2011. No fiscal note has been prepared to determine the potential loss to counties, but when the exemption was increased from $20,500 to $25,000 on July 1, 2008, a fiscal note then suggested that local governments could lose as much as $20 million per year by 2011-12. |

| | Comments: | Authorizes the Governor to take actions necessary to reduce the General Fund for 2010-11 fiscal year with the goal of reducing recurring expenditures by at least $400 million. PCS adopted by Senate adds specific line items transferred to the General Fund, including money from: One NC Fund, JDIG, Parks and Recreation Trust Fund and the Golden Leaf Fund. Of particular interest in Agriculture, the bill would divert $1.8 million from the Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. The Trust Fund receives $2 million in recurring funding; the NCACC's top agricultural legislative goal seeks to maintain funding for the Trust Fund. |

The commission would study "issues relating to records preservation standards, procedures, and techniques." The bill would also establish June 1 as the deadline to apply for a property tax exemption or exclusion. Finally, the bill directs "taxpayers required to make monthly prepayments of sales and use taxes pursuant to G.S. 105‑164.16(b2)" to use the nine-digit zip codes of the purchaser when reporting sales. The bill passed the Senate and will be considered by the House during the 2012 Short Session. |

| | Category: | Priority Goal
| | Comments: | This bill would increase the percentage of lottery funds going to counties for school capital needs from 40 percent to 90 percent by eliminating the 50 percent share that is designated for class size reductions. This would more than double the amount of lottery proceeds that counties receive. |

| | Comments: | This bill would make several changes to the state's public school system that could have a financial impact on counties. It identifies lengthening the school year to 190 days for all students as a goal of the General Assembly - "funds permitting." It also directs the State Board of Education to study the academic requirements to graduate from high school for students who do not intend to pursue a college education and suggests that those students might need an additional year of school to prepare them for life after high school. |

| | Comments: | This bill would amend the N.C. Constitution and provide a constitutional right to government public records and open meetings. The bill provides that the amendment would be voted on in the November 2012 general election. The bill has been removed from the House calendar several times as several legislators are arguing against a constitutional amendment and instead are suggesting that any changes to existing laws be made through revising the General Statutes. The House did amend the bill to allow a unit of government to charge a "reasonable" fee for the costs incurred when copying or compiling records to satisfy a request. The bill was re-referred to the House Rules Committee on March 29. It is uncertain if the House has the 72 votes needed to pass a constitutional amendment. |

This bill means that elections for other general obligation bonds or any other purpose, such as a referendum for a local-option revenue or an ABC referendum, can only be held on the date of any state, county or municipal general election or on the date of the primary in an even-numbered year.

| | Position: | Oppose
| | Comments: | This bill makes significant changes to zoning laws and specifically overturns an N.C. Court of Appeals case that upheld a Pasquotank County zoning ordinance. The bill increases the statute of limitations to challenge the validity of any zoning or unified development ordinance from two months to one year. In addition to increasing the statute of limitations, the bill provides that the statute of limitations shall begin to run when a party first has standing to challenge the ordinance. Thus, the action could potentially accrue years after the zoning ordinance passes, when a new owner comes into possession of property. This change could significantly open the door to challenges to zoning ordinances. In addition, Section 5 of H806 specifically overturns the N.C. Court of Appeals decision in the case of Tonter Investments, Inc. v. Pasquotank County. The bill limits counties' ability to manage single-family residential use on large lots. It also prohibits county adoption of an ordinance that would require lots greater than 10 acres to have frontage on a public road or county approved private road, or be served by public water or sewer lines. The bill passed third reading and is now in the Senate. |

| | Comments: | This bill makes numerous changes to the state's annexation laws, including several of the components of the Association's legislative goal for annexation reform. Specifically, the bill requires cities to provide water and sewer services within three and a half years (the Association's goal sought a three-year limit). H845 requires municipalities to provide the installation of water and sewer connections to annexed residents at no charge if at least 50 percent of the property owners in the area to be annexed sign up for the service within 65 days of receiving notice of the annexation. It also provides a petition process by which citizens who live in the area to be annexed can protest the annexation. If 60 percent of the property owners within the annexed area sign the petition and return it to the county board of elections within 130 days of the adoption of the resolution, the annexation is stopped and the municipality must wait three years before it can try to annex the area again. The municipality must reimburse the board of elections for its costs. |

| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | The Senate unanimously approved the bill March 22 after hearing about the need to protect caller identity. This bill allows a local government to protect the identity of those making certain 911 calls by allowing the content of the call to be released "in the form of a written transcript or altered voice reproduction." Previous law considered the actual recording of the phone call a public record. Passage of this bill accomplished an NCACC legislative goal. |

| | Category: | Legislative Goal
| | Comments: | This bill applies statewide a local law passed in 2010 that states that copies of subscriber e-mail lists maintained by local governments are not required to be provided to someone requesting a copy. Instead, the local government can opt to make the lists available for public inspection in either printed or electronic format - or both, if the government chooses. The NCACC adopted a goal to "seek legislation to protect the privacy of e-mail notification and distribution lists of citizens who have requested electronic communication with their local governments." The Senate passed the bill as a local act that added Carteret County and the City of Greenville to those jurisdictions already covered. The House changed the bill to make it statewide, and the Senate concurred with the House changes on April 20. |

The publisher of the website could not charge the board to post the notices and could not charge a fee to the public to access the information. A city or county could designate its own website as the site to post the notices. The bill also would require a city or county governing body to conduct a review each quarter of all of the closed session meetings it had held within the previous three years to determine whether the minutes from those closed sessions can "now be disclosed to the public." The bill also requires a governing body to create an inventory and status report of all "minutes, tape recordings or other records of the closed session" each time it goes into closed session. |

The commission would study "issues relating to records preservation standards, procedures, and techniques." The bill would also establish June 1 as the deadline to apply for a property tax exemption or exclusion. Finally, the bill directs "taxpayers required to make monthly prepayments of sales and use taxes pursuant to G.S. 105‑164.16(b2)" to use the nine-digit zip codes of the purchaser when reporting sales. The bill passed the Senate and will be considered by the House during the 2012 Short Session. |

The bill would require a referendum on any involuntary annexation. |

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is instructed to hold two public hearings on hydraulic fracturing and to study the possible societal, economic and community impacts of allowing hydraulic fracturing. The bill also appropriates $100,000 to conduct the study and establishes May 1, 2012, as the deadline for DENR to report its findings to the Legislature. The bill passed the House on May 31 and was amended by the Senate to combine the study with a study of "Onshore shale gas" included in S709, if that bill passes. |

| | Comments: | This bill allows one or more water systems to jointly plan for a regional water system and also directs the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to work with local governments in identifying water supply sources to accommodate future population growth. This would accomplish the Assocaition's legislative goal to "streamline water supply reservoir permitting." |

| | Comments: | This bill would accomplish an NCACC legislative goal to "create study commission on horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and uranium mining." The bill authorizes the Legislative Research Commission to "study the impacts on North Carolina" if the State of Virginia ends the state's current moratorium on uranium mining and allow a company to "conduct uranium mining in an area in Virginia that is located in the center of the Roanoke River Basin. The Legislative Research Commission shall specifically consider the impacts on that portion of North Carolina that would be most directly affected, since almost the entire portion of the Roanoke River Basin that is downstream and downwind of the proposed mining site in Virginia is located in North Carolina, spanning the Virginia/North Carolina border and extending to the Albemarle Sound." |

| | Position: | Oppose
| | Comments: | This bill makes significant changes to zoning laws and specifically overturns an N.C. Court of Appeals case that upheld a Pasquotank County zoning ordinance. The bill increases the statute of limitations to challenge the validity of any zoning or unified development ordinance from two months to one year. In addition to increasing the statute of limitations, the bill provides that the statute of limitations shall begin to run when a party first has standing to challenge the ordinance. Thus, the action could potentially accrue years after the zoning ordinance passes, when a new owner comes into possession of property. This change could significantly open the door to challenges to zoning ordinances. In addition, Section 5 of H806 specifically overturns the N.C. Court of Appeals decision in the case of Tonter Investments, Inc. v. Pasquotank County. The bill limits counties' ability to manage single-family residential use on large lots. It also prohibits county adoption of an ordinance that would require lots greater than 10 acres to have frontage on a public road or county approved private road, or be served by public water or sewer lines. The bill passed third reading and is now in the Senate. |

In addition, adds the standard of malicious and intentional for other felony acts of animal cruelty. Adds a new section to provide that a person who pleads guilty or nolo contendere to felony animal cruelty under GS 14-360(b), may be prohibited from having custody of animals and may be ordered to receive psychiatric/psychological evaluation and counseling. |

| | Comments: | Authorizes the Governor to take actions necessary to reduce the General Fund for 2010-11 fiscal year with the goal of reducing recurring expenditures by at least $400 million. PCS adopted by Senate adds specific line items transferred to the General Fund, including money from: One NC Fund, JDIG, Parks and Recreation Trust Fund and the Golden Leaf Fund. Of particular interest in Agriculture, the bill would divert $1.8 million from the Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. The Trust Fund receives $2 million in recurring funding; the NCACC's top agricultural legislative goal seeks to maintain funding for the Trust Fund. |

| | Comments: | S756 passed the Senate with a vote of 33-16. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Debbie Clary (Cleveland), amends current pretrial release procedures in several ways. First, S756 eliminates unsecured appearance bonds. It also expands how electronic monitoring may be used and requires the execution of at least a $1,000 secured appearance bond if electronic monitoring is imposed as a condition of pretrial release. Current law only allows electronic monitoring to be used with house arrest. S756 further provides that a person may be placed in a pretrial program only if the execution of a secured bond is a condition of pretrial release and only if a judicial official finds that at least 72 hours has elapsed from the date and time on the defendants release order. The bill specifically states that a pretrial release program shall not contact or otherwise attempt to gain access to a defendant prior to the expiration of the 72-hour period. The NCACC voiced concerns that these changes in pretrial programs have to potential to put additional burdens on already over-capacity jails. S756 has been referred to House Judiciary Subcommittee C. It will be eligible for action during the 2012 Short Session. |

Of the three counties that currently exceed the population threshold, Mecklenburg and Wake have exercised this option. |

| | Comments: | This statewide expansion of the 1915 (b)(c) waiver program would further consolidate Local Management Entities, which would be forced to meet a population threshold of 300,000 by July 2012 and 500,000 by July 2013. Full implementation would be in place prior to January 2014, when major components of the federal healthcare reform initiative become effective. Counties would not be financially liable for waiver cost overruns. The bill was passed by the House on June 1 and was approved by the Senate without any changes on June 9. |

| | Comments: | Because of concerns voiced by county health departments, Sen. Fletcher Hartsell (Cabarrus) has removed the population threshold (first 100,000, then 75,000) from the earlier version of S552. The revised language still requires a county to be either a single or multi-county health authority (Cabarrus and Hertford would qualify currently), be part of a district health department configuration, or be Wake or Mecklenburg under the consolidated human services model. All other county health departments would be precluded from receiving state or federal health funds come 2014 unless they became or join a health authority or a regional health district. Participating counties would continue to have a maintenance of effort requirement of either total 2010-11 appropriations or $15 per capita, whichever is greater. With removal of the population threshold, S552 passed third reading and was sent to the House, where it will be eligible during the 2012 Short Session. |
