CHAPTER 6 AN ACT TO MAKE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE STATES DEPARTMENTS, BUREAUS, IN- STITUTIONS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND AGENCIES, AND FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF PROVIDING ADDI- TIONAL EMERGENCY SALARIES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS AND OTHER STATE EMPLOYEES AND TO AMEND CHAPTER 279 OF 1945, THE SAME BEING THE.GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT FOR THE BIENNIUM 1945-47. WHEREAS, the cost of living has advanced considerably since the appropriations were made for salaries of public school teachers and other State employees by the Legislature of 1945; and WHEREAS, the same economic conditions, which have re- duced the purchasing power of the salaries paid public school teachers and other State employees, have greatly increased the revenues of the State, thereby placing the State in a more favorable financial position than was contemplated, and WHEREAS, the State has prospered because of increased business and inflated prices and public school teachers and other State employees have suffered because their salaries have not kept pace with the general increase in the cost of living: Now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That this emergency bonus shall not apply to persons employed on a part-time or temporary basis in departments, institutions, agencies, public schools, or to persons employed in institutional summer schools. Deductions shall not be made from this emergency bonus under the provisions of Chapter 25 of 1941, Teachers and State Employees Retirement System Act, Section 8, Sub-Section (1), Sub-Section (a) and SubSection (5), Sub-Section (1), Sub-Section (a). This emergency bonus shall not apply to operations performed solely for the Army or Navy, or other organizations or operations solely for profit, except the cost be provided by the sponsors or out of increased receipts. Special funds operated out of Federal or private funds may secure the benefit of the emergency bonus plan, provided funds are furnished by the sponsor. Provided, that public school teachers and other public school employees and teachers and other employees of other educational institutions paid by the State shall receive the same amount of emergency bonus annually or semi-annually as other State employees in the same salary brackets, such emergency bonus payments for teachers and other school employees to be paid in installments apportioned to the salaries or wages of such teachers and other school employees in accordance with the methods of payment regularly employed in the payment of such salaries or wages. Provided further, that a regular teacher or other regular State employee who works less than the full period for which said emergency bonus is prescribed shall receive only such proportionate part of said emergency bonus as the period of service of such teacher or other employee is of the total period for which said emergency salary is prescribed.
