Legislative Summary
Andy Griffith was only a face in
the crowd aa the General Assembly
turbulently moved toward adjournment
this week. Although be
and Hiss North Carolina appeared
before both houses Friday, legislators
were busy with their ABC's
and hardly paid them notice. The
House went on a two-a-day schedule
from Wednesday through
Friday and reduced its backlog of
bill* considerably, while the Senate
was able to clear Its calendars
completely by stretching out its
morning sessions to midafteraooa.
Unfortunately (from the standpoint
of those seeking adjournment),
some of the benefits of
this speed were cancelled out by
the introduction of 129 new bills.
Predictions as to the adjournment
date were being hedged as
the week ended, because SenateHouse
conflict on the provisions
of the Revenue Bill left the situation
uncertain. At best, action on
the bill could not be completed
until Thursday, and any further
dispute would put off passage until
the following week. (Meanwhile
rumor had it that the important
Appropriations Act would not be
put into final form until passage
of the Revenue measure.
There were relatively few important
bill introductions during
the week, as legislative attention
was turned to thoae which had
been submitted earlier. Altogether,
189 bills were ratified, ■
were finally
killed
The hig money bills held the
center of the stage throughout the
week. The Governor's proposals in
the Revenue Bill for revising the
corporate tax allocation formula
so as to he more attractive to new
industry apparently were saf*.
with the Senate-Houke controversy
swirling around lesser provisions
granting relief to particular
groups of taxpayers. Following
ratification of the administration
bill for a $10 million capital improvements
bond issue (designed
to release funds for salary increases),
bills were submitted to
appropriate any unanticipated surplus
during the next year so as to
preclude unnecessary issuance Of
the bonds. The House received
another measure from the Board
of Higher Education, authorizing
the state's colleges to issue revenue
bonds for financing dormitories;
it supplements an earlier
bill creating a revolving fund for
construction «f such facilities 1?
Cue cess of the gradual approach
to state government reorganisation
(reflected in the higt sate u!
approval of Reorganization Commission
bills this session and in
1MB) led to introduction of HR
1970. creating a successor Commission.
This week Commission
bills to improve coordination
among state personnel agencies
and local governments and among
agencies in the field of building
regulation were ratified; Its measure
regulating occupational. licensing
boards cleared the Senate;
and bills to revamp the Building
Code Council, clarify the State
Personnel Director's powers; and
create a Legislative Research
Committee were reported favorably.
Legislative action has been completed
en 8R 372, creating a commission
to recommend changes in
the State Constitution, and HR
974, creating a cancer study commission.
New bills propose creation
of commissions to study (a)
the need for a uniform may low

uninsured motorists, and (e) the

this prospect.
The sins of the fathers apparently

HB 1177 was submitted Monday
atght. proposing creation of a
voluntary vehicle inspection system
generally similar to the mandatory
system defeated earlier
By dint of apeedy action by its
proponents, it reached the House
floor Friday—just in time for its
own funeral. Other bills killed
during tie week would have (a)
plugged a loophole by making the
plea of nolo contendere the equi
valent of a conviction for purpoaes
of drivers' license suspension, and
(h) provided for regulation and
suspension of drivers' licenses of
persons subject to convulsive
seizures . . . The two houses
agreed to a conference committee
report on the motor vehicle equipment
bill, which restored the
authority of the Motor Vehicles
Commissioner to establish standards
and approve safety belts .
Both houses have also passrd the
bill authorizing creation of com

Local Government
Althoogh most at its legislation
for local governments has taken
the form of bills affecting only
particular counties and municipa

thus far), the General Assembly
has received and enacted
a greater than usual number of
statewide bills in this area. This
