House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Part II.
Deletes proposed subsection (e) to GS 143-133.1, which prohibited requiring UNC to report to the Secretary of Administration upon contracting with a construction manager at risk, design-builder, or private developer under a public-private partnership as required by subsection (a); exempted UNC from the Secretary's rules adopted to implement subsection (a); and directed the UNC Board of Governors (BOG) to adopt rules to implement the statute for UNC which were to include annual reporting by constituent institutions to the BOG and reporting to the Secretary of Administration within 12 months of the date of beneficial occupancy of the project. Instead, enacts new subsection (b1) directing the BOG to adopt rules to implement the provisions of the statute for UNC, including format and frequency of reporting, which require constituent institutions to annually report the information required by subsection (a) to the BOG.
