Senate amendment to the 2nd edition makes the following changes.
Part V.
Specifies that three or more of the eligible local governments (i.e., Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg Counties) can create the Lake Norman Marine Commission (Commission) by joint resolution in GS 77-89.2. Specifies, in GS 77-89.8, that violations of any of the Commission’s regulation commanding or prohibiting an act is a Class 3 misdemeanor subject to a fine of not less than $200 but not more than $500 (was, just Class 3 misdemeanor with existing fee cap of $500 removed). Removes provisions assigning a magistrate to adjudicate regulations of the Commission as described in GS 77-89.10. Removes provisions that specified that any joint resolution adopted by the four counties that is in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the act, expires upon the adoption of a subsequent joint resolution by the participating local governments consistent with the provisions of this act or September 30, 2025, whichever is earlier. Removes provisions providing that the terms of the commissioners currently appointed to the Commission’s governing board of the Commission expires on September 30, 2025. Removes provisions specifying that upon the Commission being reconstituted pursuant to a joint resolution adopted by the participating local governments, directs that all new appointments to the governing board of the Commission are effective on October 1, 2025. Now directs that the initial appointments to the governing board of the Commission will become effective on the date that is seven calendar days following the adoption of three or more eligible local governments of a joint resolution reconstituting the Commission.
