Ordinances Enabling Legislation In March of 1969 the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation, which is known as "Home Rule", which extended the powers of the Board of County Commissioners. This allows Counties to adopt: ordinances to prevent and abate nuisances, whether on public or private property; ordinances supervising, regulating or prohibiting in the interest of the public morals, comfort, safety, convenience and welfare, public recreation, amusements and entertainment, and all things determined to be for the public good; and ordinances in exercise of general police power consistent with the Constitution and Laws of the State or the Constitution and Laws of the United States. Ordinances passed by the Board of County Commissioners, can not be contrary to State or Federal Law and can not be enforced within any municipality, unless the municipality agrees to the enforcement of any such ordinance.
