The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

SECTION 1.  Section 19.1 of Chapter 558 of the 1987 Session Laws, as added by S.L. 2006-1, reads as rewritten:

"SECTION 19.1.(a)  The Board of Commissioners may, effective the first day of July after the adoption of an ordinance, change the boundaries of a fire district in Cabarrus County established by this act, if:

(1)        It first holds a public hearing on that ordinance, with notice published at least 14 days before the hearing.

(2)        Makes available in the office of the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners a map showing the proposed changes.

(3)        No area will be in more than one fire district.

(4)        No area shall be within the corporate limits of a municipality (except for any area within the corporate limits of a municipality that is already within a fire district under this act).

"SECTION 19.1.(b)  Any action taken by motion rather than ordinance under subsection (a) of this section between May 10, 2006, and the effective date of this subsection is not invalid on account of the use of a motion, as long as the motion was reflected in the minutes of the board of commissioners."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 23rd day of June, 2010.
