Top 20 Bills in NC Asembly - Part 3 #6-10

So here we are for yet another installment. Check out part 1 and part 2 if you haven't yet.

And on we go.

10. Senate Bill 1149 - Use of Biodiesel on School Buses
This bill would allow $5,000,000 for grants to NC public schools for production of biofuels to be used to run school buses.

9. House Bill 1052 - Hog Farms/Methane Gas
This bill would require power suppliers to purchase electricity from farms/facilities that use hog waste to produce it.

Just found out that my #8 was ratified as well. It was a bill that prohibited any sort of control over the use of solar collectors by things such as homeowners associations, etc.

7. Senate Bill 215 - Litter Reduction Act
This bill would be an attempt to curb litter and promote recycling by instituting a deposit program for things like bottles and cans. Other states do this with a lot of success, so no reason to think it wouldn't work here.

6. Senate Bill 967/House Bill 1600 - NC Organic Economic Opportunities Study
Self explanatory, but it would be a market research study to determine what sort of opportunities there would be for organic farming in the state. I can give them the quick answer, PLENTY. But government needs an actual study with actual results, so the sooner they get it over with the better.

That 5 flew by. check back soon for the top 5.
