Amends GS 115D-9(b), allowing the State Board of Community Colleges (State Board) to perform three detailed actions with respect to design, construction, repair, renovation of buildings, utilities, and other state funded (currently, state or non-state funded property) property developments of the Community College System requiring the estimated expenditure of public money of $4 million (currently, $1 million) or less. Enacts new subsection (h), stating that GS 143-341(3) (Department of Administration’s architecture and engineering power) does not apply to capital improvement projects funded with non-state funds if the State Board determines the college has the required expertise to manage the project. Applies to projects initiated on or after the date the act becomes law.
