The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1. Section 3 of Chapter 993 of the 1959 Session Laws of North Carolina is hereby amended by striking out said Section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:

"Sec. 3. From the time of the ratification of the amendment rewriting this Section and thence forward the governing body of any county in this State and or the governing body of any municipality in this State may become a participating member of the Authority by adopting an appropriate resolution to such effect and by appointing a representative to said Authority. Each participating member shall contribute to the support of said Authority by appropriating its share of funds as determined by a formula adopted by the Authority after said representatives have been appointed. The governing body of each participating county and each participating municipality shall appoint one member to said Authority. The members first appointed shall serve for a term of four (4) years or until their successors have been appointed and qualified. Thereafter each governing body participating as a member from time to time shall appoint a representative to serve on said Authority for a term of four (4) years and shall also appoint a representative to fill any vacancy as provided below. A representative appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired portion of the term for which he is appointed. Each member so appointed shall hold office until his successor has been appointed and is qualified. It shall be the duty of each such governing body to make such original appointments within thirty (30) days after the adoption of its resolution to become a participating member and to fill any vacancy not later than sixty (60) days after such vacancy shall occur. A failure to make any appointment or fill any vacancy within the prescribed period of time shall not, however, affect the validity of any appointment made."

Sec. 2. Section 17 of Chapter 993 of the Session Laws of North Carolina enacted at the 1959 Session of the General Assembly is hereby amended by rewriting said Section to read as follows:

"Provided the provisions of this Act shall not apply to or be interpreted as applying to Edgecombe, Lenoir, Nash, Wayne and Wilson Counties."

Sec. 3. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 4. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.
