BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Effective October 1, 2024, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted NCGS 143-803 which prohibits public agency employees from viewing pornography on the agency's network or on devices owned, leased, or controlled by the agency. Public agencies must adopt policies governing the use of their networks and devices. Additionally, by January 1, 2025, any pornography saved on such devices must be removed, deleted, or uninstalled. The statute mandates discipline for employees, elected officials, and appointees who violate these rules. The County Manager has approved a policy for Mecklenburg County employees, including corrective actions as required. It is also necessary for the Board of County Commissioners adopt a resolution to govern Commissioners and Board committee appointments.
