NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1975 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 890

SENATE BILL 810

 

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE GENERAL FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR PURPOSES OF PROVIDING SUPPORT TO YOUTH UNLIMITED, INC.

 

Whereas, Youth Unlimited, Inc., was chartered under the laws of North Carolina in 1968 as a private, non-profit corporation under the control of a local board; and

Whereas, the use of Model Cities funding resulted in the successful rehabilitation of 63 young people who were candidates for training schools; and

Whereas, the termination of Model Cities funding will result in the loss of this important community-based service without immediate State intervention; and

Whereas, community-based youth service programs are the State's most valuable asset in terms of diverting youthful offenders from training schools; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Human Resources for a grant-in-aid to Youth Unlimited Inc., the sum of forty thousand dollars (40,000) for the 1975-1976 fiscal year for community-based youth service programs.

Sec. 2.  Youth Unlimited, Inc., shall meet such licensure and regulatory standards as are considered appropriate by the department as a conditional provision for funding.

Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1975.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 26th day of June, 1975.
