A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO RESTRICT ANNEXATION OF ANY PART OF THE TERRITORY OF THE LYONS STATION SANITARY DISTRICT.
Whereas, the General Assembly in 1983 established a special tax district consisting of Camp Butner and the Lyons Station Sanitary District in order to provide fire and police protection to that area; and
Whereas, the General Assembly in 1987 restricted annexation of the Camp Butner reservation in order to avoid double taxation and to further the special structure of services in that area; and
Whereas, the General Assembly did not consider at that time the similar status of the Lyons Station Sanitary District, which is part of the same special tax district as the Camp Butner reservation; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Section 1 of Chapter 830 of the 1983 Session Laws, as rewritten by Section 43.3 of S.L. 2005‑276, reads as rewritten:
"Section 1. (a)  The territorial jurisdiction of the Butner Police and Fire Protection District shall include:  (i) any property formerly a part of the original Camp Butner reservation, including both those areas currently owned and occupied by the State and its agencies and those which may have been leased or otherwise disposed of by the State; (ii) the Lyons Station Sanitary District; and (iii) that part of Granville County adjoining the Butner reservation and the Lyons Station Sanitary District situated north and west of the intersection of Rural Paved Roads 1103 and 1106 and bounded by those roads and the boundaries of said reservation and said sanitary district. 
(b)	The territorial jurisdiction set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall constitute the Butner Fire and Police Protection District. The tax collectors of Durham and Granville Counties shall annually collect a tax of twenty‑five cents (25¢) per one hundred dollars ($100.00) valuation of all real and personal property in the portions of said district in their respective counties from year to year which tax shall be collected as county taxes are collected and shall remit the same to the State Treasurer for deposit in the General Fund.
(c)	As long as G.S. 122C‑410 prevents annexation by any municipality of any territory within the Camp Butner reservation without written approval of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, no municipality may annex under Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes any part of the Lyons Station Sanitary District."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and expires on June 30, 2008.
