GOV. EASLEY RECONVENES LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO RECONSIDER HB 2167

Gov. Mike Easley today issued a proclamation reconvening the legislative session for Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008 at 11 a.m. The session is called for the sole purpose of reconsidering House Bill 2167, which was vetoed by the governor on Aug. 17, 2008.

According to the North Carolina Constitution, when a veto occurs after the General Assembly has adjourned, the governor is required to reconvene the session within 10 days of the veto or the bill becomes law.

House Bill 2167 is titled, "An act to increase the width of boats that may be transported on highway routes during the day and night without a permit and to provide for an annual permit as opposed to a single trip permit for oversize boats."
