Transportation authority. - For the purposes of Parts 3 and 4 of this Article, a regional public transportation authority created pursuant to Article 26 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes; and for the purposes of Parts 3 and 5 of this Article, a regional transportation authority created pursuant to Article 27 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes. History (1997-417, s. 1; 2009-527, s. 2(a), (b).) Editor's Note. - Session Laws 1997-417, s. 1(b), as amended by Session Laws 2009-527, s. 2(b), has been codified as Article 43, Parts 1 and 2 at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes, effective August 27, 2009. Initially, Session Laws 1997-417, s. 1(a) provided that s. 1(b) would apply to Mecklenburg County only. Session Laws 2009-527, s. 2(a), recodified Session Laws 1997-417, s. 1(a) as G.S. 105-510.1 (subsequently renumbered as G.S. 105-507.4 ), making only Part 2 of Article 43 applicable to Mecklenburg County. Session Laws 2009-527, s. 2(b) enacted Parts 3 through 5 of this Article, effective August 27, 2009, and those Parts were also applicable to certain localities only. However, because of the general applicability of certain portions of the act, the entire act has been codified at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes. This section was enacted as G.S. 105-505 by Session Laws 1997-417, s. 1, as amended by Session Laws 2009-527, s. 2(b) and was renumbered as this section at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes.
