Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Nonpartisan odd-year elections in Louisburg

The law moves Louisburg’s regular town elections to odd-numbered years in May. Voting is on the Tuesday after the first Monday in May. Town council members are elected by nonpartisan plurality (the top vote-getters win). The mayor is elected by a nonpartisan election with a runoff. If two or fewer candidates file for mayor, the top vote-getter wins without a runoff.

New wake surfing limits on Lake Glenville

The law defines wake surfing as using added weight in a boat to make a large, surfable wake. Starting October 1, 2025, you cannot wake surf within 200 feet of the shore, any structure, a moored boat, a kayak, a canoe, a paddleboard, or a swimmer on Lake Glenville. Breaking this rule is a Class 1 misdemeanor with a fine of at least $100, plus other penalties. Wildlife officers, sheriffs, and other peace officers enforce this rule. It applies only on the waters of Lake Glenville in Jackson County.

Counties can build community college buildings

The law lets Henderson, Johnston, and Rutherford counties build and finance buildings on their community college campuses. Projects are for Blue Ridge Community College (Henderson), Johnston Community College, and Isothermal Community College (Rutherford). Counties may use debt or lease-purchase financing and can use college property as collateral, which must be returned when the financing is repaid. After completion, counties lease the buildings to the colleges and must follow state construction and bidding rules. Counties must consult the college boards; Johnston County must sign a written MOU with its board before building. These choices can affect county budgets and, over time, local taxes or fees.
