This document is an amendment to House Bill 385 rather than a standalone legislative bill, so it does not establish new laws or affect specific groups directly.

This update ensures that these digital assets are protected under the same legal provisions as physical equipment within the bill's existing framework.
This bill allows sellers of manufactured signs to repossess those signs if buyers fail to make agreed-upon payments.

The amendment also sets new term lengths and expiration dates for these commissioners to structure their service periods.
This bill adjusts the boundaries of the City of Creedmoor in Granville County, North Carolina, by adding a large number of specific parcels to the city while removing one parcel. The property additions are identified by unique tax office numbers, and the removal is based on a single tax property identification number. Once the changes take effect on June 30, 2024, the newly included land will become subject to municipal taxes, while the removed land will no longer be taxed by the city for future tax years. The legislation also ensures that any outstanding tax liens on the removed property remain valid and can still be collected or foreclosed upon.
This bill amends state law to allow The University of North Carolina to enter into agreements with technology vendors to trade in or buy back surplus computer equipment. The legislation specifically authorizes the university to sell back devices even if they were not originally purchased from the vendor and sets conditions for distributing surplus computers to nonprofit organizations that refurbish them for low-income students. To ensure accountability, the bill requires nonprofits to report on their refurbishment efforts and the disposition of any equipment they cannot fix, with annual reports submitted to the university board and the state's education oversight committee. These changes aim to streamline the management of university surplus technology while maintaining oversight on how donated resources are used.

This change directly affects school administrators and students by formalizing the process for collecting immediate witness statements during disciplinary investigations.

The law ensures that any unpaid taxes or special assessments from before the change remain collectible from the original towns, while also stating that these properties will no longer be subject to municipal taxes starting July 1, 2023.

This change directs the money toward fostering partnerships between students and industries while reducing the specific allocation previously designated for SME Prime.
This bill removes a specific parcel of land, identified as Lot 47 in Section 24 of Boiling Spring Lakes, from the official city limits.

The legislation also clarifies that any outstanding tax liens or special assessments on this land before the effective date remain valid and can still be collected. Finally, the act takes effect on June 30, 2024.
