    Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to 1st edition. Deletes all provisions of the 1st edition and replaces it with A CURATIVE ACT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ASSIGN ALL AREAS INADVERTENTLY UNASSIGNED BY SESSION LAW 2011-403, AN ACT TO REALIGN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS FOLLOWING THE RETURN OF THE 2010 FEDERAL DECENNIAL CENSUS, AND TO CLARIFY THE TEXTUAL EXPLANATION OF THE PLAN FOR THE UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
    Provides that the purpose of this act is (1) to correct a computer coding error that caused certain Census blocks to not be assigned to any district in the textual explanation of SL 2011-403 and (2) to conform the textual explanation of the United States Congressional districting plan to the actual legislative intent as shown by the districting map and the supporting block assignment file statistics reviewed by the General Assembly in July 2011.
    Amends GS 163-201, as amended by SL 2011-403, to include additional census blocks in the following Districts in the following specified counties: District 1 (Lenoir, Washington, & Wilson); District 2 (Harnett); District 3 (New Hanover & Pitt); District 4 (Cumberland & Wake); District 8 (Davidson); District 9 (Iredell, Mecklenburg, & Union); and District 12 (Guilford).
    Deletes provisions that permitted any area in the state not specifically assigned to a district to be deemed assigned to a surrounding district or contiguous area based on certain specified criteria. Instead directs the Legislative Services Officer (LSO) to certify a true copy of the block assignment file associated with any mapping software used to meet the provisions of GS 163-201(a), which apportions congressional districts. Requires the LSO to deliver the certified copy of the block assignment file to the Principal Clerk of the Senate and the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives, and directs that if any area is not assigned to a specific district as identified in GS 163-201(a), the placement of the area in a district is to be subject to the certified true copy of the block assignment file delivered to the Principal Clerks of the Senate and of the House.
    Effective when the act becomes law and applies to elections held on or after January 1, 2012.
