House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes. 

Amends proposed new subsection (e) of GS 143-318.11 (Closed sessions) to require the chair, upon returning to open session, to state during open session whether the closed session complied with the statute's requirements regarding closed sessions (previously required certification that all discussion during the closed session was limited to permissible purposes cited in the motion duly made and adopted). Makes technical and conforming changes relating to requirements for the statement to be reduced to writing and signed by the presiding chair for inclusion in the open session minutes. Makes a corresponding change to GS 143-318.10(e) to include the statement of the presiding chair along with the minutes as public records under that statute.

Changes the act's long title.
