Bill Summary · SB 148

SB 148 — 22nd Senatorial District Local Act‑1 (Local / Durham County)

Status: Passed 1st Reading
Introduced: January 23, 2025
Classification: Local bill — Counties / Durham County

Main purpose and intent

SB 148 is a narrowly targeted local act that applies only to North Carolina’s 22nd Senatorial District. As introduced, the bill contains no substantive policy changes or programmatic provisions; it is a district‑specific bill that establishes the bill’s geographic scope and an immediate effective date.

Key provisions

The introduced text is extremely short and contains two operative sections:

  • Section 1 — Geographic scope: states the act "relates only to the 22nd Senatorial District." (i.e., the bill’s provisions, once enacted, would apply exclusively to that district.)
  • Section 2 — Effective date: provides that the act takes effect when it becomes law.

There are no additional substantive clauses (no regulatory changes, funding, or mandates in the current text).

Who or what would be affected

  • Primary effect: residents, local governments, or entities located within the 22nd Senatorial District (Durham County), but only if subsequent amendments or substitute text add substantive measures addressing local matters.
  • Current effect: none substantive beyond establishing a local act applicable to that district; no fiscal or regulatory impacts are specified in the introduced text.

Procedural / timeline aspects

  • Introduced (per provided information): January 23, 2025.
  • Passed 1st Reading: bill has cleared its first reading (formal step placing it on the legislative calendar).
  • Next steps likely include referral to committee(s) by the Rules/Operations committee, potential committee hearings, amendments or substitute language, and subsequent second and third readings. If amended, substantive content and impacts would depend entirely on the changes adopted.
  • Effective date (as drafted): upon becoming law.

Practical notes

  • As drafted, SB 148 functions as a vehicle for a local/district‑specific change but contains no operative policy or funding language yet. It may be a placeholder or starting point for later amendments that would specify particular local measures (land use, local governance, taxation, special recognition, etc.).
  • Stakeholders in Durham County or the 22nd District who want to know whether the bill will impose obligations or provide benefits should monitor committee referrals and proposed amendments closely — those will determine substantive impact.
