SB 189 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Winston-Salem Civil Service Board.

SB 189 amends Winston-Salem's city charter to change eligibility rules for the Civil Service Board. It requires former city employees appointed to the Board to have separated in "good standing" without serious misconduct or disciplinary action, and to have been separated for at least seven consecutive years. The bill also prohibits individuals with financial ties to city business (or family members with such ties) from serving, and bars Board members from working with the city for two years after their term ends. This applies to all appointments made on or after August 1, 2025.
