Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Changes the long title.

Changes the effective date of Section 1, amending GS 14-7.1, to December 1, 2017 (was, effective when the act becomes law). Adds that these provisions apply to offenses committed on or after that date and that is the principal felony offense for a charge of a status offense of habitual felon.

Adds new Section 2, eliminating the sunset provision set out in Section 7 of SL 2009-369, as amended, which allows an individual convicted of habitual impaired driving to be eligible to petition for a hearing to restore driving privileges after 10 years without any traffic or criminal convictions (currently, expire December 1, 2016). Retroactively effective December 1, 2016. 

Clarifies that prosecutions for offenses committed before the effective date of the act are not abated or affected by this act, and the statutes that would be applicable but for this act remain applicable to those prosecutions.
