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

    Makes organizational changes to the proposed changes to GS 50B-3, which specify the expiration of domestic violence protective orders. Further amends GS 50B-3 as follows. Requires a defendant ordered to attend an abuser treatment program pursuant to subdivision (a)(12) to begin regular attendance of the program within 60 days of the entry of the order. Requires the court to specify the date and time for a review hearing with the court to assess whether the defendant has complied as soon as practicable after 60 days from the entry of the original order. Requires that date and time to be set when entering the original order, and requires the clerk to issue a Notice of Hearing for the compliance review to be given to or served, as appropriate, upon the defendant and filed with the court on the same day as entry of the original order. Permits the plaintiff to attend the review hearing. Provides for the defendant to give the clerk a written statement showing compliance with the order prior to the review hearing, at which time the clerk must remove the hearing from the court docket and notify the plaintiff of the defendant's compliance and that no review hearing will occur. 

    Makes conforming changes to the act's titles.
