AN ACT TO REQUIRE LIABILITY INSURANCE ON MOTOR VEHICLES OPERATED IN THE STATE BY STUDENTS WHO REQUEST A PERMIT TO PARK AT A CONSTITUENT INSTITUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 116-44.4(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d) Each board of trustees may by ordinance set aside parking lots and other parking facilities on the campus for use by students, faculty, and employees of the University and members of the general public attending schools, conferences, or meetings at the University, visiting or making use of any University facilities, or attending to official business with the University. The board of trustees may issue permits to park in these lots and garages and may charge a fee therefor. The board of trustees may also by ordinance make it unlawful for any person to park a motor vehicle in any lot or other parking facility without procuring the requisite permit and displaying it on the vehicle. No permit to park shall be issued until the student requesting the permit provides the name of the insurer, the policy number under which the student has financial responsibility, and the student certifies that the motor vehicle is insured at the levels set in G.S. 20-279.1(11) or higher. This subsection applies to motor vehicles that are registered in other states as well as motor vehicles that are registered in this State pursuant to Chapter 20 of the General Statutes."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective January 1, 2002, and applies to all student requests for permits to park submitted on or after that date.
