Section 143B-426.30, referred to in subdivision (18) above, was recodified as 143B-472.26 by Session Laws 2001-424, s. 7.6. Session Laws 1983, c. 832, which added subdivision (42), provided in s. 6, as amended by Session Laws 1991, c. 301, s. 1: "This act shall become effective when funds are appropriated by the General Assembly to the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety [now Department of Public Safety] to implement the provisions of this act." Such an appropriation was made. Session Laws 1983, c. 832, s. 6 further provided: "No claims may be filed under this act for any criminally injurious conduct occurring before the effective date of this act." Session Laws 1985, c. 746, s. 6, added a subdivision (1a) to this section. Section 18.2 of Session Laws 1985, c. 746, provided: "The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall request the Supreme Court to issue an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of Sections 5 and 6 of this act and the appointment of the chief hearing officer by the Chief Justice as provided in G.S. 7A-752 in Section 2 of this act." Section 19 of Session Laws 1985, c. 746, provided that sections 5 and 6 of the act, which added G.S. 143A-55.2 through 143A-55.6 and added subdivision (1a) of this section, would become effective 30 days from the date the Supreme Court issued an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of those sections unless the opinion stated that those sections were unconstitutional, in which event those sections would not become effective. Section 19 of Session Laws 1985, c. 746, further provided that the act would not affect contested cases commenced before Jan. 1, 1986. Furthermore, Session Laws 1985, c. 746, s. 19 provided that the act would expire Jan. 1, 1992, and would not be effective on or after that date. However, this expiration provision was deleted by Session Laws 1991, c. 103, s. 1. Session Laws 1985 (Reg. Sess., 1986), c. 1022, s. 7 deleted the word "advisory" preceding "opinion" in the third sentence of Session Laws 1985, c. 746, s. 19. By letter dated October 28, 1985, the Supreme Court declined to issue an advisory opinion as contemplated by Session Laws 1985, c. 746, ss. 18.2 and 19. See the note headed "Advisory Opinion" in the Case Notes below. At the direction of the Revisor of Statutes, subdivision (1a) of this section, as enacted by Session Laws 1985, c. 746, s. 6, has been shown as "Not effectuated." For similar provision, see subdivision (1b), as added by Session Laws 1985 (Reg. Sess., 1986), c. 1028, s. 33. The number of subdivision (62) of this section was assigned by the Revisor of Statutes, the number in Session Laws 1993, c. 321, s. 309.1(b) having been subdivision (60). The number of subdivision (72) was assigned by the Revisor of Statutes, the number in Session Laws 2000-148, s. 2, having been subdivision (70). The number of subdivision (73) was assigned by the Revisor of Statutes, the number in Session Laws 2000-149, s. 2, having been subdivision (71). The number of subdivision (74) was assigned by the Revisor of Statutes, the number in Session Laws 2000-162, G.S. 2, having been subdivision (70). Session Laws 2000-147, s. 8(a)-(c), provides: "(a) Interpretation of Act. - The foregoing sections of this act provide an additional and alternative method for the doing of the things authorized by the act, are supplemental and additional to powers conferred by other laws, and do not derogate any powers now existing. "(b) References in this act to specific sections or Chapters of the General Statutes are intended to be references to those sections or Chapters as amended and as they may be amended from time to time by the General Assembly. "(c) This act, being necessary for the health and welfare of the people of the State, shall be liberally construed to effect its purposes." Session Laws 2000-147, s. 8(d), is a severability clause. Session Laws 2000-149, s. 5, as amended by Session Laws 2003-425, s. 3, makes the act effective August 2, 2000. The North Carolina Rural Internet Access Authority created in the act is dissolved effective December 31, 2003. The act is repealed effective December 31, 2003. Part 2E of Article 10 of Chapter 143B of the General Statutes and G.S. 120-123(73), as enacted by this act, are repealed effective December 31, 2003. Session Laws 2001-487, s. 21(c), repealed Session Laws 1997-148, s. 8, which had stated in its introductory language that "G.S. 20-123(57) reads as rewritten." There is no subdivision (57) in G.S. 20-123 , and it appears that the amendment was intended to be for G.S. 120-123. The attempted amendment would have substituted "G.S. 143B-472.41" for "G.S. 143B-426.21" in subdivision (57). Session Laws 2002-126, s. 6.6(f), provides: "The Attorney General within 45 days of this section becoming law [approved September 30, 2002] shall render an opinion as to whether or not subsections (a) through (e) of this section will subject the State Ports Authority to status as a common carrier subject to the Railway Labor Act. Subsections (a) through (e) of this section become effective only if an opinion is issued that it does not subject the State Ports Authority to status as a common carrier subject to the Railway Labor Act, and in such case subsections (a) through (e) of this section become effective upon the issuance of the opinion. In lieu of subsections (a) through (e) of this section, if the North Carolina State Ports Authority finds that the transfer of any stock owned by the North Carolina Ports Railway Commission to the North Carolina State Ports Authority will accomplish the same end as the transfer of assets of the North Carolina Ports Railway Commission, it may order such transfer if the Attorney General issues an opinion it does not subject the State Ports Authority to status as a common carrier subject to the Railway Labor Act, and in such case the transfer becomes effective 60 days after it is ordered." Session Laws 2002-126, s. 6.6(b), provided for the repeal of G.S. 120-123(25). On November 12, 2002, the Office of the Attorney General issued an opinion, as required by Session Laws 2002-126, s. 6.6(f), stating that the North Carolina State Ports Authority is not a common carrier subject to the Railway Labor Act by virtue of Session Laws 2002-126, s. 6.6(a)-(e). Session Laws 2002-126, s. 6.6(b), repealed subdivision (25).The opinion should be available on the official website of the Office of the Attorney General by the end of 2002 (http://www.jus.state.nc.us/lrframe.htm).

Session Laws 2002-126, s. 31.3, provides: "Except for statutory changes or other provisions that clearly indicate an intention to have effects beyond the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the textual provisions of this act apply only to funds appropriated for, and activities occurring during, the 2002-2003 fiscal year. For example, uncodified provisions of this act relating to the Medicaid program apply only to the 2002-2003 fiscal year." Session Laws 2002-126, s. 31.6, is a severability clause. Session Laws 2002-133, s. 5, and Session Laws 2002-172, s. 2.5, each added a subdivision (75) to this section. The subdivision (75) as added by Session Laws 2002-172, s. 2.5, has been renumbered as subdivision (76) at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes. Session Laws 2002-172, s. 7.1, is a severability clause. Session Laws 2003-425, s. 4, as amended by Session Laws 2006-66, s. 12.3(a), provides: "Sections 1 and 2 of this act become effective December 31, 2003, with the e-NC Authority hereby designated as the successor entity of the Rural Internet Access Authority that will dissolve on that date, as provided by Section 5 of S.L. 2000-149. The remainder of this act is effective when it becomes law. The e-NC Authority created in this act is dissolved effective December 31, 2011. This act is repealed effective December 31, 2011. Part 2F of Article 10 of Chapter 143B of the General Statutes and G.S. 120-123(77), as enacted by this act, are repealed effective December 31, 2011." Session Laws 2005-344, which enacted the North Carolina State Lottery, in s. 14, provides: "Nothing in this act shall be construed to obligate the General Assembly to appropriate funds to implement this act." Session Laws 2007-323, s. 13.16, provides: "(a) The e-NC Authority may contract with other State agencies, The University of North Carolina, the North Carolina Community College System, and nonprofit organizations to assist with program development and the evaluation of program activities. "(b) The e-NC Authority shall report to the 2008 General Assembly on the following: "(1) The activities necessary to be undertaken in distressed urban areas of the State to enhance the capability of citizens and businesses residing in these areas to access high-speed Internet.

"(3) The technology and digital literacy training necessary to assist citizens and existing businesses to create new technology-based enterprises in these communities and to use the Internet to enhance the productivity of their businesses. "The e-NC Authority shall, by September 30, 2007, and quarterly thereafter, report to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations on program development and the evaluation of program activities." For prior similar provisions see Session Laws 2006-66, s. 12.3(c). Session Laws 2007-323, s. 19.1( l ), provides: "This section is effective on the effective date of the redesignation and transfer of the operation and function of the Governor's Advocacy Council for Persons with Disabilities from the Department of Administration to a nongovernmental entity under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act 2000, P.L. 106-402.
