GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA

1983 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 862

HOUSE BILL 1161

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL RESOURCES FOR THE COMMITTEE ON ART IN STATE BUILDINGS.

 

Whereas, Chapter 1384 of the 1981 Session Laws, Regular Session 1982, established the Committee on Art in State Buildings; and

Whereas, this Committee has successfully begun to implement its mandate to promote the inclusion of art works in State buildings; and

Whereas, the Committee used its original $5,000 appropriation to commission a North Carolina painter to produce a work of art for the Legislative Office Building; and

Whereas, the creation of this Committee elicited contributions from North Carolina corporations of art work valued at twice the original appropriation to the Committee; and

Whereas, because of this Committee's supervisory role over art work in State buildings, private donors will probably continue to contribute valuable art work to the State; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Cultural Resources the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for fiscal year 1983-84 to be used by the Committee on Art in State Buildings in the performance of its duty to promote art work in State buildings.  Any unexpended funds remaining at the end of the 1983-84 fiscal year shall not revert to the General Fund but shall remain available to the Department during fiscal year 1984-85 for the purpose stated in this act.

Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 20th day of July, 1983.
