House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes. Deletes new GS 14-222.1's mental state requirement that crime be committed with deceit and an intent to defraud. Instead, it is now unlawful for a person to do any act which prevents, obstructs, impedes, or hinders public or legal justice (was, unlawfully obstructs justice). Divides the level of crime based on the level of an underlying criminal offense, so that if a person committed any of the above described acts in relation to a misdemeanor, then the person is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. If the person committed the above described acts in relation to a felony, that person is guilty of a Class I felony (was, just Class I felony).
