NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1975 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 893

SENATE BILL 915

 

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE GENERAL FUNDS TO THE NORTH CAROLINA PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE STUDY COMMISSION AND TO FUND SPECIAL STUDIES THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES COMMISSION.

 

Whereas, House Bill 567 establishes a commission to study professional liability insurance in North Carolina; and

Whereas, without positive legislative action in this important area there is a probability that essential medical services would be seriously curtailed if the availability of professional liability insurance is reduced or terminated; and

Whereas, there is a need for the commission to employ professional and clerical staff with competence in the field of professional liability insurance; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated from the General Fund of the State to the North Carolina Professional Liability Insurance Study Commission the sum of twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) for fiscal year 1975-1976 and the sum of twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) for fiscal year 1976-1977 for purposes of employing professional and clerical staff in support of the commission, and to defray all other related travel and subsistence expenses of the commission and its staff.

Sec. 2.  The sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) is appropriated to the Legislative Services Commission to be used, on the express approval of the commission, to pay the expenses of study commissions or study efforts authorized by the 1975 General Assembly but for which no specific funding was authorized. The funds appropriated by this section may be expended in the 1975-1976 fiscal year, and any amount remaining may be expended during the 1976-1977 fiscal year.

Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1975.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 26th day of June, 1975.
