Bill summary
House committee substitute amends the 1st edition by modifying proposed GS 160A-289.3(b), which requires local police departments to conduct background checks on potential citizens academy participants. Previously, the proposed language required the local departments to exclude individuals from the citizens academy based on prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges or investigations. Changes this provision to instead permit local departments to exclude individuals based on prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges or investigations.
