Bill summary
House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.
Modifies the proposed changes to GS 20-179 (Sentencing hearing after conviction for impaired driving; determination of grossly aggravating and aggravating and mitigating factors; punishments). No longer authorizes a court to order the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice to pay the costs of a continuous alcohol monitoring system when the court finds that a defendant should not be required to pay the costs of the system. Eliminates proposed GS 20-179.5, which provided that costs incurred to comply with continuous alcohol monitoring requirements imposed by a court as well as administrative fees are to be paid by the monitored person and created the Continuous Alcohol Monitoring Fund to be used to provide access to monitoring as a sentence option for indigent persons.
Makes conforming changes to the act's titles.
