I WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY ~[ A—.. ■ NOTE: This Is the twelfth of a ser ies of weekly summaries prepared by the 'legislative Staff of the In stitute of Government on the work of the North Carolina General As sembly of 1968. It is confined to discussions of matters of general interest and major importance. •' ■ - * Late April adjournment is now fore ' -cast for the General Assembly. Em : phasis has shifted from bill introduc tion to committee and floor action, but while the Senate’s calendar is being cleared daily, more bills are reaching the House calendar than are being acted upon. Speaker Boat has asked for more work and less talk, and af ternoon or night sessions may be necessary. But in the final analysis the date of adjournment depends on how fast the Revenue Act and bond bills come up for passage, since each must be considered on three separate days in each house.’ A committee re port on the Revenue Act is unlikely before accord has been reached on appropriations. Appropriations aitdflFlnanee Although members of the joint ap propriations subcommittee got down to work early this week, little infor mation has leaked out on their pro gress in formulating budget recom mendations for the 1933-65 biennium. Certainly the subcommittee’s job was not made any easier by the Commis sioner of Revenue’s prediction that state taxes for this year and the next biennium would bring in $6.9 million less than the Advisory Budget Com mission had estimated. Meanwhile the administration’s pro posed bond issues, approved with but one amendment in House appropria tions committee, were held up in the House finance committee. Considera tion of a substitute proposal to re quire voter approval for the institu tional bon’d issue instead of the ment al hospital bond issue, after being told that. debt service requirements on the bonds would probably necessi tate an increase in taxes, prompted the finance committee to call state agency heads to Raleigh next week to justify the contained in the $18,600,000 measure. Close atten tion was also given the suggested for imfla for allocating SSO million for public school needs. Whatever the final determination on bonds, revised revenue estimates may encourage legislators to draw on the $17.5 million “cushion fund” in order to balance the budget and assure es sential state services not provided for in the appropriations bill. Trimming appropriations to meet maximum rev enues now expected is a more likely course than revision of tax sched ules. Roads and Highway Safety Despite testimony from Highway Commission engineers that heavy trucks were speeding deterioration of the highways, a 'House committee has reported favorably a bill which would raise truck axle weight limits at least 1,000 lbs. Floor opposition to the measure is expected. Highway wear and tear in proportion to .vehicle weights is assumed by Rep. Turner's HB 1038 which would impose on com mercial trucking a highway use tax (similar to laws in N. Y., N. J., Conn., and Oregon) computed on the basis of truck weight and miles traveled in the state. Senators have killed in committee the Housq bill permitting renewal of, driving licenses by mail without the necessity of reporting to an examiner. Similar treatment has been accorded by House roads committee to the bill lowering by two months the age for securing learner’s permits, and HB 557 jiving J'P’s jurisdiction over per sons charged with driving without a license. . Courts Floor debate preceding third read ing passage of SB 283 in the Senate brought out that Chief Justice Devin of the Supreme Court favored the rer districting plan for superior courts - over the House proposal to add more' judges in existing districts. Whether for this or other reasons, the two vote margin by which the bill surviv ed second 1 reading was increased to eight. In the juvenile court field, SB 267, which would bring youths of 16 into juvenile court for first misde meanors other than violations of the motor vehicle law, was sent back to Senate committee for further study. The facts which that hill revealed brought introduction of SB 398 to set up a commission to study the whole juvenile delinquent problem, Constitutional Amendments For the second successive week ve hement controversy shook tj)e House chamber. The latest outburst accom panied the passage of HB 18, prepos ing an amendment to limit any coun ty, no matter what its population, to no more than one senator. A quieter atmosphere prevailed, despite sharply divided opinion, as' HB 682, putting rotation of superior court judges in legislative hands, failed to pass sec ond reading. Meanwhile the Senate passed two Mils making minor chang es in election provisions and received two bills which, if approved by the people, would implement lit. Gov. Hodges’ suggested elimination of Sat oi-day Jn bolfli how**. A • . V.' ’ m ' . r*}C;v». • SLEEPYHEAD! Ii This pretty sleepyhead wears a prizewinning pajama-robe set mads from cotton feed and flour bags. Her attractive ensemble was one of the outfits made by members of the 4-H Club in Bracken County, Ken tucky, who won first place in their state in a cotton bag sewing contest sponsored by Singer Sewing Ma chine Company and the Textile Bag Manufacturers Association. The girls won a cabinet sewing machine for their skill in making cotton bag fashions. Education The joint education sub-committee reported out its compromise consolida tion bill on ‘Monday. Small schools which do not meet the minimum av erage daily membership could remain open if local authorities are willing to reimburse the state for extra ex pense resulting from under-strength operation, and a greater voice is giv en local communities in certain other cases. At a public hearing on Wed nesday, warning was served that over decentralization of schools would re sult in inferior education, but solid backing for the bill, once special lo cal problems have been ironed out, was evident. Business and Industry Although HR 1064 only requires the Commissioner of Banks to approve the chartering of a new bank in a county where but one bank, including branches of that bank, is in operation, debate on the measure may probe deeply into banking law administra tion. SB 389 would, replace present flat incorporation taxes on stock with a graduated tax to encourage incor poration in this state of businesses capitalized at over $1 million. Un favorable reports were given ©B 261, repealing the 1/10 of 1% sales tax on wholesale merchants; : SB 342, set ting up a new statutory formula for regulating utility rates ;and two bills designed to remove virtually all pres ent limitations on the garnishment of wages. Public Health Rendering plants appear to be due for Stringent sanitary regulation; the . House has passed, and a Senate com mittee has approved, HB 748, which sets up the necessary administrative machinery. Spread of vesicular exan thema, in hogs presents another meat industry problem receiving extensive legislative attention. New laws con trolling the feeding of raw garbage to hogs have been enacted and HB 1075 would make an emergency appropria tion of $50,000 to aid in control ef forts. With all stiffened penalties large intact, the hopped up narcotics control act has been reported favorably in the House after -receiving final Senate approval. | Miscellaneous The issue of closed committee meet ings refuses to die; a bill has already! been introduced to repeal last week’s! hasty enactment of the “secrecy” bill ...
