Senate amendment to the 3rd edition makes the following changes.

Removes proposed change to Section 12.2 of SL 2023-134 (the 2023 Appropriations Act) that would have expanded the recipients of the appropriation there to the Towns of Columbus and Tryon. (Directive to the Office of State Budget and Management [OSBM] to allocate those funds to those towns and the City of Saluda for debt repayment remains the same).

Effective June 30, 2024, notwithstanding the committee report described in SL 2021-180 (2021 appropriations act), directs OSBM to reallocate $7 million of the grant to Duplin County for the Emergency Management Facility as follows: (1) $1.5 million to be used to construct a new Senior Resource Center and Veterans’ Services building and (2) $5.5 million to be used to construct a co-located sheriff’s office and detention center.

Directs the State to convey all its rights, titles, and interests in the former quarry bounded by Quarry Road and the railroad tracks in Monroe, North Carolina, as described to the City of Monroe for $1. Specifies that the property is conveyed “as is” and “where is” without any warranties concerning the title to the property, the boundaries of the property, the uses to which the property may be put, zoning, local ordinances, or any physical, environmental, health, and safety conditions relating to the property. Directs that the City of Monroe will bear all costs associated with the conveyance. Exempts the conveyance from Article 7 of GS Chapter 146 (pertaining to dispositions of State property). Directs that provisions of Article 16 of GS Chapter 146 apply, except for GS 146-74 (concerning approval of conveyances). 

Makes organizational changes.
