Weekly Leg N*te: This is Another of a Mites of weekly summaries prepared bp the legislative ■sass of the Institute of Government on the work of the North Carolina Gen eral Assembly of 1967. It Is confined to discussions of matters of general in terest and major import ance. Alcoholic Beverages A long step has now been taken toward resolu tion of the divisive brown bagging issue. On Tuesday of this week a House com mittee substitute for the brown bagging bill, ' SB 2, was reported to the House by the Committee on Propositions and Griev ances. On Wednesday the principal floor debates were held, * lasting over two hours, and the House pass ed the bill on second read ing by a rojl call vote of < 74-41. Thursday brought third reading apjiroval, 72- 37, and the bill was sent to the Senate on Friday where it was referred to the Senate Committee on Propositions and Griev ances. An earlier version of the bill had passed the Senate by overwhelming voice vote. This issue which has overhung the first two months proceedings of the 1967 General Assembly like a low-lying cloud had its origin in a now-distant ’thunderclap emanating from the North Carolina Su preme Court.

L L HOLLOWEII, CHAIRMAN Chowan County Board of Elections tice of “brown bagging’’ hard liquor could not be squared with the letter of the State’s alcolohic bever age laws. This General Assembly convened in Feb ruary acutely aware that the questions raised by the court decision, so difficult to resolve in a legislative arena because of the in tensity of convictions on both, sides, must be dis posed of before the major legislative business of 1967 could proceed. The bill that has now passed the House, twice metamorphos ed from its original form, was introduced by Sen. Burney on opening day. As introduced it merely per mitted possession and trans portation of one-fifth of alcoholic beverages in “wet counties” (those with ABC stores) for personal con sumption or consumption by family or guests. Four weeks later, without any intervening committee or floor action on SB 2, the second brown bagging bill of the session made its debut. This measure, in troduced in the House only by Rep. Hill (HB 209), spelled out in much more detail the conditions and places where hard liquor would be permissible, in cluding social clubs and restaurants which have beer/wine licenses and seating capacity of 50 or more. Another week pass ed and the Senate Com mittee on Propositions and Grievances reported to the Senate a substitute for SB 2, embodying much of the substance of the Hill bill, but differing in its less THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1967. islative Summary stringent restrictions on storage of club members’ bottles in lockers, and its more stringent restrictions of restaurants entitled to allow brown bagging. Like the original SB 2, the Sen ate committee substitute would have been applica ble statewide, without dis tinction between wet and dry counties. A week af ter its report to the Sen ate floor, the substitute bill was passed by the Sen ate overwhelmingly without further change. The Senate-passed bill was sent to the House Committee on Propositions and Grievances for study, where it languished for two weeks amid growing re ports of intramural dis sension. The logjam was broken when Chairman Euliss secured the assist ance of Wake County Rep. (and attorney) Sam John son, not a member of the committee, who completely rewrote the bill and car ried the major burden of explanation in the House. The debates in the House were of unusually high caliber on both sides, but did not appear to affect the outcome, which—judg ing from comments of op ponents to the bill—was a foregone conclusion. One somewhat unexpected pro cedural development com plicated floor handling of the bill. Because of li cense fee provisions that were added to the bill in House committee, its spon sors reluctantly agreed that the bill should be re garded as a roll call mea sure by virtue of the state constitutional requirements that the “yeas and nays” be recorded on every law imposing a “tax.” (Roll calls are not otherwise re quired in the General As sembly unless requested by at least one-fifth of the members present —a device infrequently resort ed to because of its un popularity within the leg islative fraternity). A lib eral interpretation of the roll call provision would have sustained the posi tion that the .fee provision of SB 2 is not a “tax” within the constitutional intendment, but the bill’s supporters evidently de cided not to risk the pos sibility of another adverse court decision. The bill that passed the i House, and now returns to the Senate for its concur rence, represents a substan- ; tial revision of earlier ver sions. Basically it seeks to limit public consump tion of liquor to the wet areas and to impose a new set of state controls on brown bagging. In both wet and dry counties the bill would permit liquor consumption in private— in homes and lodgings, country clubs and social establishments. However, restaurants and other com mercial places could allow brown bagging only in wet counties (those with county or municipal ABC stores). Moreover, posses sion and use of quantities of liquor in excess of one gallon for special occa sions would be allowable only in wet counties. A permit system with an nual fees ranging from SIOO to S3OO would be es tablished for restaurants, commercial places and so cial establishments, to be administered by the State ABC Board. Local acts marking off particular dry areas (such as perimet ers around churches or schools) would be re spected. Beyond all of these provisions, the bill clarifies the basic purposes cf the sponsors and spells out many implications not previously made explicit. Appropriations and Finance Going relatively un noticed in the excitement generated by House action on brown bagging, an im portant stage in the budget process was reached this week with the designation in each house of the Sub committee on Appropri ticns.
