Almost a decade ago, the North Carolina General Assembly passed Session Law (“S.L.”) 2012-126, which provided counties with new options to organize and govern their human services functions.  S.L. 2012-126 allowed any board of county commissioners (“BOCC”) in a county with a county manager to combine two or more human services functions into a single consolidated human services agency.
