Adds new Part 30, Eugenics Asexualization and Sterilization Compensation Program, to Article 9 in GS Chapter 143B, to give a $50,000 lump sum in compensation to every qualified recipient. Defines qualified recipient as an individual asexualized or sterilized by the Eugenics Board of NC, who was living on May 16, 2012. Allows individuals to submit a claim for compensation on or before December 31, 2015, and authorizes a personal representative to submit a claim for an individual who died on or after May 16, 2012. Sets out the procedure for the NC Industrial Commission to determine whether individuals are qualified recipients and provides the right to appeal. Directs the Industrial Commission to use $184,000 of 2013-14 appropriated funds to administer this provision. Creates the Office of Justice for Sterilization Victims in the Department of Administration (DOA) to assist individuals who may be qualified recipients, and directs DOA to use $654,000 of 2013-14 appropriated funds to cover expenses.

Makes all records received or submitted under Part 30 confidential. Makes conforming changes to GS 132-1.23 and allows release of minutes or reports from the Eugenics Board if identifying information is redacted. Exempts payments of compensation from income taxation and specifies that the payments are not considered income or assets for purposes of determining eligibility for public assistance. Makes conforming changes to GS 105-134.6(b) and by enacting GS 108A-26.1. Prohibits the extension of any statute of limitations that expired before July 1, 2013, and limits the state's liability to the compensation amount.

Directs the State Controller to establish the Eugenics Sterilization Compensation Reserve to pay the compensation under Part 30 and directs that $10 million be reserved in the General Fund to the Compensation Reserve.

Effective when the act becomes law, directs the Department of Health and Human Services to submit specified state plan amendments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by July 1, 2013, to allow for income disregard of the compensation payments.
