Amendment #1 modifies the proposed changes to GS 48-9-102, which provides for confidentiality of adoptions records. Adds a new requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Social Services, to conduct a limited review, within 40 days of receipt, of adoptions records to identify any obvious error on the report to vital records prepared by the superior court clerk, and to notify the clerk of any error.

Enacts GS 7B-3808 to grant the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children office (Compact office) at DHHS the authority to request supporting or additional information necessary to carry out the purpose and policy of the Compact and to require assurance that placement meets all applicable NC placement statutes. Requires any sending agency that intends to place a child into and out of North Carolina to submit a complete request to the Compact office, as specified; provides an opportunity to submit additional requested information within 10 business days from the date noticed before the request is deemed expired.
