A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to allow passenger buses that have an overall length of sixty feet or less to operate on public streets and highways.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 20-116(l) reads as rewritten:
"(l) Nothing
in this section shall be construed to prevent the operation of passenger buses
that are owned and operated by units of local government, operated as a single
vehicle only and having an overall length of 4560 feet or less,
on public streets or highways. The Department of Transportation may prevent the
operation of buses that are authorized under this subsection if the operation
of such buses on a street or highway presents a hazard to passengers of the
buses or to the motoring public."
