NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1973 SESSION

CHAPTER 1113

SENATE BILL 1198

AN ACT TO REPEAL G.S. 115-161.

Whereas, the provisions of G.S. 115-161 relating to the taking of a complete census of the school population are obsolete in the light of present-day organizational patterns; and

Whereas, the requirements for the said census are unrealistic in that the necessary cost for taking the census would greatly exceed any benefits which could be derived from the existence of such a census; and

Whereas, no provisions for funding the census have ever been made by the State and have seldom been made by local tax levying authorities; and

Whereas, there is no evidence that such a census is needed in the operation of the public schools of the State; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 115-161 is hereby repealed.

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective on the date of ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 3rd day of April, 1974.
