SB 75 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Town of Garner/Settlement of Claims.

SB 75 amends the Town of Garner's charter to allow the town manager, rather than the town council, to settle specific low-value claims against the town. It permits settlements for personal injury/property damage under $10,000, eminent domain cases within approved budgeted amounts, and claims against the town under $10,000. The town manager must still get approval from the town attorney and report settlements to the council, with settlements releasing the town from further liability. This change streamlines handling of minor claims while maintaining oversight.
