House committee substitute makes the following changes to 2nd edition. Adds a section adding GS 20-17.8A, effective December 1, 2011, making it a Class 1 misdemeanor to tamper with an ignition interlock device required to be installed by court order, statute, or condition of operating the vehicle for the purpose of avoiding or altering its operation. Changes bill’s title accordingly. In act’s new GS 114-19.31, dealing with criminal history checks of license applicants, adds provisions specifying that the criminal history checks do not apply to application for an additional or new location made by the existing licensee or to a manufacturer’s license.
