House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.  

Modifies the definition of drug-free homeless service zone so that it contains separate requirements for facility-based services that provide shelter or housing for victims of domestic violence that may be endangered if the purpose or location of the facility were to become known. In those cases, designates the interior of any building and any outdoor area that may only be accessed by entering through the building used by such a facility-based service, if at least one sign is permanently affixed in a visible manner inside the building and within 5 feet of the main entrance of the facility that identifies the building as a drug-free homeless service zone. For other drug-free homeless service zones, narrows the scope of the zone from within 300 feet of a facility-based service or its accompanying grounds to within 100 feet of the building and accompanying grounds. Only allows such a designation if the operator permanently affixes a sign in a visible manner in the exterior of the main entrance identifying the building and its grounds as a drug-free homeless service zone.

Removes condition that an alleged violator of the Class E felony offense under GS 90-95(e)(8a) be at least 21 years of age and requires violators to know or reasonably know that the area is a drug-fee homeless zone (previously, no knowledge or reasonable knowledge requirement). Increases the violation from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class H felony when an operator of a facility-based service intentionally allows a person to commit an offense under GS 90-95(a)(1).
