Page 6-B Report From Rep. Steeford White By Representative Stanford White The 1977 General Assembly Friday finished its 48th day. This session is moving slower than the past few sessions as to numbers of bills that have been in troduced. Today the House in troduced its 500th bill and the total of bills that have been introduced in the Senate as of today is 261. One reason so few bills have been introduced is that those who have programs they wish to push are waiting for the governor to send over legislation for introduction before they introduce their own tails. At this time the pace seems to be rather relaxed as far as getting bills in troduced and passed through both the House and Senate. However there probably will be a tall floodgate soon. At the present time it seems almost certain that there will be a 1978 session and it is possible that some bills introduced late in this session could be carried over to that session. An interesting resolution has just been introduced in the Senate. It is Senate Resolution 181 and it directs the Human Resources Committee in the Senate to study the problems and needs of the aging population and to make recommendations to the General Assembly. The committee will also scrutinize all legislative proposals which affect the elderly and shall on its own initiative make appropriate appearances and representatives to other committees. Some other bills that have been introduced recently that you might be interested in are listed below: FOR SALE!

A House Bill 445 provides for the fixing of utility rates in North Carolina based upon the reasonable original cost of the property of the public utility used and useful in providing service to the public. Senate Bill 213 would change the members of the Board of Transportation, and would abolish the Secondary Roads Council and make other changes in the laws relating to the Department of Tran sportation. It would in crease the number of members of the Board of Transportation to ap proximately 23 which I feel would give our area a better representation than in the past. There is also a bill being circulated in the House and Senate which would change the formula of allocating monies to the Secondary Road Program. Under this plan the county boards of commissioners would have final say in where the money would be spent in their particular county. House Bill 97 provides that a female applicant be required to receive a rubella immunity test in order to secure a marriage license. House Bill 315 would require the immunization of children against rubella. House Bill 365 would appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the 1977- 79 biennium for payment of contractual services by retired senior volunteer programs. House Bill 367 provides for the appropriation of funds to the State Board of Education to be used for the replacement of all school buses in service for more than 12 years. House Bill 384 relates to the qualifications of school bus drivers. It provides for the State t Board of Education to adopt from time to time such rules and regulations with regard to the age and qualifications of drivers of school buses as it shall deem to be desirable for the purpose of promoting safety in the operation of school buses. In no event shall any person be per mitted to drive a school bus who is not at least 17 years of age and who does not have at least one year’s experience driving an automobile or truck. House Bill 385 would direct the State Board of Education to establish rules and regulations regarding the qualifications of tran sportation supervisors. The State Board of Education jvould from time to time adopt such rules and regulations with regard to the qualifications of persons employed by local boards of education as chief mechanic or supervisor of tran sportation as it shall deem necessary or desirable for the purpose of assuring the proper maintenance and safety of school buses. House Bill 366 would create employment op portunities for blind and-or severely handicapped persons by assuring a market for products and services provided by them, and for other purposes. Remember the cut-off date for introduction of local bills is April 1. Federal Tax Deadliae Near GREENSBORO With only four weeks remaining in the Fedearal income tax filing season, North Carolinians are taking the forms from the shelf, dusting them off and settling down to the chore of telling Uncle Sam if they owe more tax or are due a refund. After a slow start earlier in the year, North Carolina taxpayers are filing returns at a slightly faster rate than last year. As of March 12, records indicate that 1,049,692 returns had been received from the Tar Heel state. Os this number, 829,063 had been processed and 638,449 refunds issued, totalling $227 million, an average of $356 per refund. More short Form 1040 A’s are being received this year, indicating that many tax payers are taking ad vantage of the increased standard deduction instead of itemizing deductions.
