issues of the highest priority so that we may better focus our efforts. <br />Please fill out the issues form below for each proposal, and reply to this email with your <br />county's proposals. Prospective federal issues will be presented to the NCACC Board of <br />Directors at its Feb. 22 meeting for consideration and approval for inclusion into the <br />2012 Congressional issues packet. The Board will assess each issue based on its <br />statewide county government impact and whether Congressional action is imminent. <br />NCACC asks that you review NCACC's 2011 Congressional Issues of <br />Interest to Counties and NACo's 2012 Legislative Priorities. <br />For your information, the NCACC Board of Directors approved the following statewide <br />federal issues for 2011. Please find these listed below, along with a legislative status of <br />each issue, based on any action by the 112th Congress: <br />2011 Congressional Issues for North Carolina Counties <br />Issue: Oppose Federal Budget Cuts to Counties without <br />Corresponding Cuts in Federal Mandates <br />o Status: The Budget Control Act of 2011 sets deficit reduction targets of $841 <br />billion for discretionary spending caps and $1.2 trillion for the Super <br />Committee's deficit reduction plan. Since the committee could not reach <br />consensus, and barring further congressional action, sequestration is <br />scheduled to begin Jan 2, 2013, leading to automatic across - the -board <br />spending cuts of $2 trillion over 9 years, half from defense and half from non- <br />defense discretionary spending. 14% cuts are projected for 2013, unless <br />further legislative action is taken. <br />® Issue: Support County Government Preference for Service Delivery <br />• Issue: Support Remote Sales Tax Collection <br />Status: 3 bills have been introduced to move forward collection of remote <br />sales taxes, taxes already due and payable. The Main Street Fairness Act (S. <br />1452) and its House Companion H.R. 2701 would codify the Streamlined <br />Sales Tax Agreement. The Marketplace Fairness Act (S. 1832) provides 2 <br />options for remote sales tax collection: the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax <br />Agreement and an alternative where states may collect after adopting <br />minimum simplification requirements. NC is in compliance with the SSTA and <br />has been a governing board member since inception. <br />Issue: Oppose New EPA Ozone Standards for Primary and <br />Secondary Designations <br />Status: President Obama instructed EPA to withdraw the draft Ozone <br />National Ambient Air Quality Standards in early September, awaiting an <br />update to the 2006 science review for reconsideration of the ozone standard in <br />2013. <br />Issue: Oppose Federal Preemption of State Law Regulating <br />Collective Bargaining of Public Employees <br />o Status: No legislation to preempt public employee collective bargaining has <br />moved. <br />Page 156 <br />
