NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1977 SESSION

CHAPTER 1005
SENATE BILL 218

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE GENERAL FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROVIDING SUPPORT TO YOUTH UNLIMITED, INC.

Whereas, Youth Unlimited, Inc., was chartered under the laws of North Carolina in 1968 as a private, nonprofit corporation under the control of a local board; and
Whereas, the 1975 General Assembly appropriated the sum of forty thousand dollars ($40,000) for the support of Youth Unlimited, Inc., for fiscal year 1975-76; and
Whereas, during fiscal year 1975-76 Youth Unlimited, Inc., provided community‑based youth services to 80 persons who were either actual or potential juvenile offenders; and
Whereas, the termination of continued State funding will result in the loss or impairment of the quality and effectiveness of this important community-based service; and
Whereas, community-based youth service programs are the State's most valuable asset in terms of diverting youthful offenders from training schools; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Human Resources for a grant-in-aid to Youth Unlimited Inc., the sum of forty thousand dollars ($40,000) for the 1977-78 fiscal year and the sum of forty thousand dollars ($40,000) for the 1978-79 fiscal year for community-based youth service programs.
Sec. 2.  Youth Unlimited, Inc., shall meet such licensure and regulatory standards as are considered appropriate by the Department of Human Resources as a conditional provision for funding. Any future request for funding shall be submitted through the Department of Human Resources.
Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1977.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of July, 1977.
