Amends GS 74E-6 to add hospital police officers, defined as company police officers employed by, or contracted with, a local hospital or hospital authority to the classifications of company police officers. Gives hospital police officers the same powers as municipal and county police officers to make arrests for both felonies and misdemeanors and to charge for infractions on specified property and extends those powers to portions of a road or highway passing through or adjoining that property. Allows the chief executive officer of any local hospital or hospital authority employing or contracting with hospital police officers to enter into joint agreements with the governing board of any (1) municipality to extend the law enforcement authority of hospital police officers into any or all of the municipality's jurisdiction and to determine the circumstances in which this extension of authority may be granted and (2) county, with the sheriff's consent, to extend the law enforcement authority of hospital police officers into any or all of the county's jurisdiction and to determine the circumstances in which this extension of authority may be granted.

Effective July 1, 2015.
