AN ACT to facilitate the elimination of nonresponsive boards, committees, and commissions.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  The Legislative Library is directed to send a request for documentation and confirmation of activity to all boards, committees, and commissions that have not expired or been repealed. The documentation required by this section includes the current membership, last reported minutes, current bylaws, and a listing of the entities to which reports are to be submitted. For any board, committee, or commission that either (i) fails to respond within 120 days to the request required by this section or (ii) responds but has not met within the previous 12 months, the Legislative Library will add the board, committee, or commission to a list and will submit the final compiled list to the Joint Legislative Administrative Procedure Oversight Committee. The Committee is directed to recommend legislation to repeal the boards and commissions on the list required by and submitted pursuant to this section.

SECTION 2.  The Joint Legislative Administrative Procedure Oversight Committee is directed to recommend legislation to the 2024 Regular Session of the 2023 General Assembly upon its convening to repeal the boards and commissions on the list required by, and submitted to it pursuant to, Section 1 of this act.

SECTION 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
