Bill summary
House committee substitute amends the 1st edition as follows.
Revises the proposed changes to GS 14-208.12A, which details the process for an individual who is required to be registered under the State’s Sex Offender and Public Protection Registration Program (Program) to petition the superior court to terminate their registration requirement under the Program. Now amends existing language to require the petition be filed in the district where the person was convicted of the offense, regardless of the petitioner's current county or state of residence (previously, added a new provision to require a petitioner who currently resides out of state to file the petition in the county where the person last registered in North Carolina).
