Section 1
Eliminates the proposed new Article V. added to the Charter of the City of Greenville (City), SL 1981-272, authorizing the City to employ Traffic Crash Investigators.

Includes identical requirements of the City and investigators regarding the employment of investigators as previously proposed, with organizational changes, that involve establishing minimum employment standards and compliance with specified training conditions, equipment issuance, and limits of investigator authority. Similarly, specifies that investigators cannot be issued a weapon and have no authority to arrest or issue criminal process. Now requires the City to deliver a written report (was, submit a written report) to the specified NCGA committees (with corrected committee names) by December 31, 2023, on the training and use of investigators between the date the act becomes law and November 1, 2023.
