本周有三项法案签署成为法律
政府. 罗伊·库珀九月. 我签署了一项综合性的刑事司法改革法案, marking the final step in the enactment of wide-ranging changes to police practices and standards in North Carolina.
在一个 新闻稿 关于签署 SB 300刑事司法改革,政府. Cooper说:
“We have seen that the criminal justice system doesn’t always treat everyone the same – and too often the differences are disproportionately felt by people of color. This legislation will take us one step further toward a more equitable and just North Carolina for all.”
The legislation includes provisions related to background checks and training requirements for law enforcement applicants, requires early intervention in instances w在这里 officers use excessive force and decriminalizes certain local ordinances.
政府. Cooper also signed into law two other law enforcement bills: HB 436支持执法精神健康, which requires psychological screening of law enforcement job applicants, and HB 536执法干预的责任, which requires law enforcement officers to intervene and report excessive force. Funding for several new databases mandated by these laws has been included in the House and Senate budget proposals currently being discussed in the General Assembly.
These enactments also mark the achievement of a legislative goal of towns and cities for 2021-22, which is to “improve state-wide funding and support for LEO training focused on use of force, 心理健康和降级技能.” The League is currently working on a guidance document to help towns and cities prepare for the changes mandated by these laws.
LGC一帮助工具包
州长库珀签署成为法律 SL 2021-124/SB 314 Local 政府 Commission A帮助工具包, a bill to assist the Local 政府ernment Commission (LGC) in its role in addressing local government financial distress. The law includes provisions that establish a process for a municipality or the LGC to transition a municipality from financial distress through recovery or dissolution; and in the case of dissolution, 建立转移某些资产的流程, 负债, 以及市政当局的其他义务.
This law was the result of stakeholder discussions with the Department of State Treasurer about establishing a “historic charter” status for municipalities that no longer can or want to provide services to citizens, and the League thanks Treasurer Dale Folwell and Senator Paul Newton for the comprehensive stakeholder process that led to this result.
值得注意的是, this law also includes a provision requested by the League that would allow cities more notice when t在这里 is a change to the type of sales tax distribution formula used by a county, requiring that the method of distribution will be in effect in the county during the "fiscal year following" the succeeding fiscal year.
建筑规范及发展. 注册. 改革
由政府签署. 这周的库珀 SL 2021-121/HB 489 2021建筑规范和发展. 注册. 改革. 除其他规定外, it places limitations on local government sedimentation and erosion control programs for fees and regulations during residential construction. 在HB 489变更之前, local governments operating this state program in their communities were already limited to charging fees only to recover the costs of providing the service to developers. This law prohibits a local program from charging a fee on reinspection after a violation and further restricts how their fee is calculated.
除了费用限制之外, the law contains other limitations as to what a local program may require in sedimentation plans, 土地所有者对侵蚀控制的自我检查, 并设置了淤泥栅栏. The law requires municipalities to establish the beginning point for measuring setbacks for sight distances at street intersections. 法律的生效日期因条款而异, with some of the changes to local sedimentation and erosion control programs becoming effective immediately.
