The General Assembly will convene on <br /> May 13 , 1996 . Local bills must be submitted to the Bill Drafting <br /> Section by May 22, and must be introduced in either the House or Senate <br /> by May 29 . <br /> Last year, the Board of Commissioners proposed local legislation that <br /> would have permitted Orange County and its neighboring counties of <br /> Caswell, Person, and Alamance to resolve the location of county <br /> boundary lines. The legislation was withdrawn when Alamance elected <br /> officials expressed concerns about the legislation. The Board of <br /> Commissioners may wish to decide whether or not to ask the Orange <br /> County legislative delegation to reintroduce that legislation for 1996 . <br /> The Board may also wish to consider other items for adoption as local <br /> legislation. If the Board does have items it wishes to be considered <br /> for 1996 local legislation, it could identify those items at the April <br /> 1 meeting, and direct the County Attorney to draft proposed legislation <br /> to be submitted to the Orange County legislative delegation in <br /> accordance with the General Assembly' s rules and timetables . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides . <br />
