Bill summary
Senate amendments to the 2nd edition make the following changes.
Amendment #1 modifies the proposed changes to Section 10.2 of SL 2024-55, concerning definitions relating to Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD), to define low-cost broadband service option, reliable broadband service, underserved, and unserved as those terms are defined in the IIJA (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) as interpreted by (was, as amended by) any subsequent guidance issued by NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration).
Amendment #2 adds new Section 7.26 amending GS 147-86.22 (Statewide accounts receivable program). Authorizes the State Controller to use recovered audit funds for computer system maintenance and improvements, financial reporting, governmental accounting training, debt collection, and e-commerce costs subject to availability and appropriation by the NCGA.
Amendment #3 changes the amount appropriated from the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management in Section 10.1 for allocation to specified projects from $1,550,477,389 to $1,750,477,389, with an increase in allocation for the UNC/R&R21 project code from $200 million to $400 million. Modifies and adds to the directive to the UNC Board of Governors (BOG) regarding the prioritization of repairs and renovations for allocated funds for the UNC/R&R21 project code. Requires $100 million for 2025-26 be used exclusively for repairs and renovations at NC Central University. Prohibits the BOG from negatively weighing repairs and renovations project funding allocations against NC Central with respect to the additional funding described, and specifies the described additional funding cannot supplant any funds currently earmarked or projected to be allotted to NC Central for repairs and renovations during 2025-27. Excepts the additional funding to NC Central from the $15 million cap for any single repair or renovation project funded from funds allocated to the project code.
