Top 20 Bills in NC Asembly - Part 2 #11-15

Part 2 (#11-15) of the top 20 bills in the NC general assembly

So here we are for another installment. See part 1 if you have no idea what this is.

And on with the list.

15. Senate Bill 1451 - Biodiesel Incentive Fund

It may seem awfully familiar, as in #16, but this Biodiesel incentive is slightly different. This one provides for a fund to pay out to biodiesel producers to encourage development of Biodiesel in the state. The only downside to this one for me is that if emphasizes the use of feedstock for biodiesel production. The perfect bill would be to really push biodiesel from recycled veggie oil or cellulosic ethanol, but we will take what we can get I suppose.

14. My #14 I just noticed has been ratified since I first checked it, so we’ll skip that one. FYI it was for an increase in the penalty for Air Polluters.

13. House Bill 1832 - No Mining Sand from Tidal Inlet/Delta
This one is self explanatory, but it would basically end all mining of sand and damage to the ecosystem, unless it is necessary to maintain navigation channels.

12. House Bill 1846 - Tax Credit for Recycling Vegetable Oil
This bill would provide for a tax credit equal to 25% of the cost of equipment for the conversion of used vegetable oil to fuel.

11. Senate Bill 141/House Bill 1117 - Topsail Beach/Beach Renourishment funds
This would provide $2,000,000 to the town of Topsail Beach for use in beach renourishment.

Thats if for this one, check back for the rest later
