Bill Summary · SB 87

SB 87 — 37th Senatorial District Local Act‑1 (Summary)

Status: Passed 1st Reading
Introduced: January 21, 2025
Jurisdiction / Subject tags: Local bill; Counties; Mecklenburg County; Iredell County
Primary sponsor (House/Senate docket): Senator Sawyer (primary sponsor on bill filing)

Main purpose / intent

SB 87 is a local act that applies exclusively to North Carolina’s 37th Senatorial District. The bill’s enacting clause (as provided) is narrowly framed: it declares that the measure “relates only to the 37th Senatorial District” and provides that it becomes effective when it becomes law.

The public filings and docketing identify Mecklenburg and Iredell Counties among the bill’s subject tags, indicating the bill is intended to affect (or be relevant to) those counties as they relate to the 37th district boundaries or matters specific to that district. However, the version of the bill text provided to this summary contains only the short jurisdictional language; no substantive policy provisions, regulatory changes, or program authorizations are included in the excerpt supplied.

Key provisions (what the available text actually does)

  • Declares the act applies only to the 37th Senatorial District.
  • States the act is effective upon becoming law.

No additional substantive provisions, definitions, funding authorizations, or regulatory changes appear in the provided text.

Who would be affected

  • Residents, local governments, and public agencies within North Carolina’s 37th Senatorial District (notably parts of Mecklenburg and Iredell Counties, per subject tags) would be the only entities potentially affected — but the specific impacts are not identifiable from the provided text.
  • Because the available language contains no operational provisions, there is no record in this excerpt of changes to services, taxes, regulations, or local government responsibilities.

Procedure, timeline, and next steps

  • Introduced: January 21, 2025 (per bill information).
  • Passed First Reading (date shown on filing). Referred to the Senate Rules and Operations committee (per docket).
  • Next steps (typical for NC local acts): committee consideration (Rules/Appropriations or other assigned committees), second and third readings in the Senate, transmission to the House if amended/approved, and then enrollment and signature by the Governor to become law. The bill’s effective date is immediate upon enactment (per the short text).
  • Because the publicly supplied bill text is minimal, stakeholders should monitor subsequent committee reports, amendments, and the engrossed/enrolled versions for substantive language.

Notes / Recommendations

  • The supplied document contains only a jurisdictional/intent statement and no operational language. For a definitive understanding of what SB 87 would change or authorize, obtain the latest engrossed or enrolled bill text and any committee analyses or fiscal notes issued after introduction.
  • Check the North Carolina General Assembly bill page and committee records (Rules and Operations; any other referrals) for amendments, committee reports, and fiscal or local government impact statements as the bill moves through the process.
