2010 Legislative News

The NC General Assembly will next convene on May 12, 2010.

Senator Doug Berger and Rep. Lucy Allen received the Environmental Excellence Award from the NC Portable Toilet Group at our first 2010 Educational Seminar in Raleigh on January 16, 2010.

We won in 2009!  Our legislation to protect your environmental equipment passed.  Governor Beverly Perdue signed into law House Bill #616 on May 27, 2009.  This new law provides stiffer criminal penalties for damage to portable toilets and pumper trucks in North Carolina. 

This l
egislation to toughen penalties for vandalism will help us prosecute offenders.  The NC Portable Toilet Group responded to problems our members have had in prosecuting damage to portable toilets and pumper trucks.

Rep. Lucy Allen supported the NC Portable Toilet Group by sponsoring House Bill #616. Senator Doug Berger sponsored the companion Senate Bill #714.  The House bill moved first, and thus House Bill #616 became Session Law SL2009-37.  Click here to read the new law.  Many thanks to Sen. Berger and Rep. Allen for supporting the portable toilet industry.


The NC Portable Toilet Group will discuss and other important and current legal issues at our remaining 2009 educational seminars.  Join us for a legal update on your rights!
