The Senate has passed the budget bill and it is now in the House for consideration. This <br />provision is being heard in the House Health Subcommittee. Representative Verla Insko is one <br />of the co-chairs of the Health Subcommittee. <br />The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) staff have also expressed <br />concern about this action as a further shift from state to local resources for public health. <br />The attached resolution opposes Section 10.26 of Senate Bill 202 and calls for input from local <br />government officials and local public health professionals should any reform be proposed. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with adoption of this resolution. There may <br />be significant financial impact should Section 10.26 of Senate Bill 202 be adopted. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the Resolution <br />Opposing Section 10.26 of Senate Bill 202, authorize the Chair to sign the resolution, and direct <br />the Clerk to the Board and the Health Director to draft a letter for the Chair's signature <br />forwarding the resolution to Orange County's legislative delegation. <br />
