Intro. by Davis, Hardister, Howard, Reives. | GS 78C |
House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Modifies proposed GS 63-74, which establishes an Airport Improvement Program (program). Now requires the biennial economic impact study to be conducted by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to look at the annual economic impact of each commercial service airport in the state (previously, each commercial and general aviation airport in the state), with funds appropriated to the program to be disbursed based on the percentage of the total economic impact of each eligible airport, as previously specified. Modifies the parameters for the distribution of program funds, now requiring the three largest airports, as defined by economic impact, to take a 5% cut per decile of the pro rata share of funds distributed, with a maximum cut of 20% (previously, limited the distribution of funds to the three largest airports, as defined by the total number of passenger boardings used to determine program eligibility, to no more than 80% of the total program funds). Maintains the distribution requirements for the remaining funds to remaining eligible airports previously provided.
House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.
Adds the following.
Amends GS 20-63.1, which authorizes the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to cause vehicle license plates for 1968 and future years to be reflectorized. Rewrites the statute to mandate registration plates be fully retroreflective and conform to the specified values, and be constructed with the specified materials. Adds a new requirement for registration plates to be replaced every seven years.
Directs the DMV, in coordination with the Department of Information Technology, to implement a registration plate production platform that integrates the State registration and titling system with the on-demand production of the registration plates, and provides for direct shipping of the registration plate to the vehicle's owner or to the license plate agency. Requires existing plates be replaced with new registration plates if, upon the date of renewal, the plate is seven or more years old or will become seven or more years old during the registration period.
Applies to registration plates issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2020.

Intro. by McInnis, Britt, J. Davis. | GS 14 |
To be summarized.
Intro. by Gunn, Blue, Harrington. |
Current law, GS 95-25.3(a), sets the minimum wage that every employer must pay to each employee who performs any work during any workweek at the higher of $6.15 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1) (the Fair Labor Standards Act, which may change with time), except as otherwise provided in the statute.
This act increases the state's minimum wage in the five phases. Effective January 1, 2020, sets the minimum wage at the higher of $8.80 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1). Effective January 1, 2021, sets the minimum wage at the higher of $10.35 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1). Effective January 1, 2022, sets the minimum wage at the higher of $12 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1). Effective January 1, 2023, sets the minimum wage at the higher of $13.50 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1). Effective January 1, 2024, sets the minimum wage at the higher of $15 per hour or the minimum wage set forth in 29 USC 206(a)(1). Directs the Commissioner of Labor to calculate an adjusted minimum wage rate, beginning September 30, 2022, and on each September 30 thereafter, using the Consumer Price Index , CPI-U, or its successor index, as calculated by the US Department of Labor for the 12-month period preceding the previous September 1. Requires each adjusted minimum wage rate calculated to be published on September 30 and take effect on the following January 1.
Further amends GS 95-25.3 to eliminate the statute's provisions regarding lower wage rates for students, learners, apprentices, and messengers; persons whose earning or productive capacity is impaired by age or physical or mental deficiency or injury; persons economically disadvantaged or unemployed; and persons employed by seasonal food service establishments.
Current law, GS 95-25.3(f), authorizes tips earned by tipped employees to be counted as wages up to the amount permitted in section 3(m) of 29 USC 203(m) (the Fair Labor Standards Act) if certain notice and recording requirements are met.
This act eliminates the reference to the Fair Labor Standards Act and instead establishes a statutory cap on the amount of tips earned by a tipped employee which can be counted as wages. Increases the cap in phases, eventually ending the practice of counting tips as wages and effectively establishing a minimum wage for tipped employees. Effective January 1, 2020, sets the initial cap at $5 per hour. Effective January 1, 2021, sets the cap at $6.50 per hour. Effective January 1, 2022, sets the cap at $8 per hour. Effective January 1, 2023, sets the cap at $9.50 per hour. For all of these phases, maintains the existing provision authorizing tip pooling so long as no employee's tips are reduced by more than 15% under the arrangement.
Amends GS 95-25.14(a), removing domestic employees from persons exempt from minimum wage, overtime, youth employment, and record keeping laws, as specified. Makes clarifying and technical changes.
