NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1979 SESSION

CHAPTER 513
SENATE BILL 550

AN ACT TO EXTEND THE SUNSET PROVISION ON THE CONFEDERATE WOMEN'S HOME.

Whereas, the State of North Carolina has had a long standing commitment to the Confederate Women's Home in Fayetteville for the care of elderly daughters, wives, and widows of soldiers who fought in North Carolina regiments during the Civil War; and
Whereas, each of the 13 remaining residents had to initially give up all assets in order to meet the indigency requirement for admission to the home; and
Whereas, the Department of Human Resources has the authority under G.S. 112-3 to decide the location of the home; and
Whereas, by extending the sunset provision on the home in G.S. 112-1 the Department of Human Resources will continue to pay for the cost of care for these women, though not necessarily at the present location in Fayetteville; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 112-1 is amended by deleting the words "January 1, 1980," and inserting in lieu thereof the words "July 1, 1984."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 3rd day of May, 1979.
