SB 18 — "46th Senatorial District Local Act-1." (North Carolina)
Summary
- Bill number: SB 18
- Short title: 46th Senatorial District Local Act‑1
- Sponsor/Primary: Senator Daniel
- Jurisdiction: 46th Senatorial District (local to North Carolina)
- Subject tags provided: local/county matters (Buncombe County; Burke County; McDowell County)
- Status (from available record): Passed First Reading; referred to Rules and Operations of the Senate. Effective date: “when it becomes law” (per bill language).
What the bill does (purpose and intent)
- The printed bill text is a local act that is expressly limited to the 46th Senatorial District. The measure, as filed, contains only jurisdictional/introductory language and an effectiveness clause (i.e., “This act relates only to the 46th Senatorial District” and “This act is effective when it becomes law”).
- No substantive policy provisions, program authorizations, regulatory changes, or specific local measures are contained in the provided text. In other words, the bill as presented appears to be a district‑specific or “placeholder” local act rather than a finished substantive statute.
Key provisions (from the available text)
- Section 1: Limits the scope of the act to the 46th Senatorial District.
- Section 2: States the act’s effective date (“effective when it becomes law”).
- No other operative sections or statutory changes are included in the version provided.
Who would be affected
- Residents, local governments, and stakeholders within North Carolina’s 46th Senatorial District (the subject metadata references Buncombe, Burke, and McDowell counties) — but because the bill contains no substantive provisions, there is currently no identifiable regulatory, fiscal, or programmatic impact.
Procedural / timeline notes and next steps
- The bill is a local/district act and follows the legislature’s local act process (committee referrals, readings, any local hearings).
- Because the current text contains no substantive language, interested parties should:
- Watch for amendments or substituted language in committee reports (local acts are often amended to add district‑specific provisions).
- Consult the legislative status page or the bill’s committee reports for updated text and any fiscal or local impact analyses.
- If the bill is intended to implement a specific local change, expect later versions to add those substantive sections; until then, there are no direct legal effects beyond the jurisdictional/technical language present.
If you want, I can:
- Monitor and summarize subsequent amendments or the enrolled bill text when available.
- Search the legislative history for committee reports or analyses that explain the intended substantive content (if any) behind this local act.
