HB 240 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Currituck/New Hanover Beach Towns/Jacksonville Occupancy Tax.

HB 240 revises and consolidates the existing charter of the Town of Davidson into a single, updated document without altering the town's substantive powers or policies. It organizes current provisions on incorporation, corporate boundaries, the governing body (including the Mayor and five-member Board of Commissioners), and election procedures into a clearer, modernized format. The bill directly affects Davidson residents and its local government by updating the foundational document that governs the town's operations, though it maintains all existing rules for elections, boundaries, and governance. This procedural update streamlines the charter for administrative clarity but does not change how the town functions or interacts with residents.
