Summary

The bill lets the North Carolina Department of Transportation mow highway rights‑of‑way within five miles of a sporting event that expects at least 5,000 attendees in May, even though state law normally bans mowing that month. Local governments must submit a request at least 30 days before the event, and the mowing must occur between two and seven days prior to the event. The law also earmarks $10,000 to cover the DOT’s costs.
