Amends GS Chapter 14 by creating new Article 36C, entitled Terrorism, enacting GS 14-288.25 through GS 14-288.29. Defines an act of terrorism as an act of violence committed with the intent to intimidate the civilian population at large or to influence, through intimidation, the conduct or activities of the government of the United States, a state, a county, or a city. New GS 14-288.26 makes it a Class B1 felony to commit or conspire to commit, or aid and abet the commission of an act of terrorism if the base offense of the act is a Class B1 or Class A felony. Also makes it a Class C felony to commit or conspire to commit or aid and abet the commission of an act of terrorism if the base offense is a Class B2 felony or a lesser offense. It is a Class D felony to solicit, invite, recruit, encourage, or otherwise cause or attempt to cause another to participate in an act of terrorism. New GS 14-288.27 makes it a violation of new GS 14-288.26 to recklessly assist, or provide land or other resources or aid in the training of anyone intending to commit an act of terrorism. New GS 14-288.28 sets forth the factors that may constitute probable cause for search and seizure of the evidence of criminal activity related to unlawful paramilitary activity, acts of terrorism, or a continuing criminal enterprise within a closed community compound, which is defined in new GS 14-288.25(4) as a community with limited public access reputed to be bound together by a common purpose or ideology. New GS 14-288.29 provides that all real and personal property used, or intended for use, derived from or realized through a violation of new Article 36C is subject to legal seizure and forfeiture. Applies to offenses committed on or after December 1, 2011.

S 94 (2011-2012) PSAPS TECH STANDARDS/HABITUAL MISD LARCENY (NEW). Filed Feb 21 2011, TO UPDATE THE REFERENCE TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

Identical to H 124, filed 2/16/11.

Background: North Carolina's tax law maintains conformity with many provisions of the federal tax law by reference to the federal Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Each year, the General Assembly decides whether to update North Carolina's reference to the IRC. Under current state law, the reference date to the IRC is May 1, 2010; however, the U.S. Congress has enacted two acts that make substantial changes to the federal tax code: (1) the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 [2010 Jobs Act] and (2) the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act [2010 Tax Relief Act]. Both Acts contain provisions that became effective retroactively on January 1, 2010.
Changes: Amends GS 105-228.90(b)(1b) to define the term Code to reference the Internal Revenue Code as enacted January 1, 2011 (was, as enacted May 1, 2010). This proposed change would conform North Carolina tax law to many of the changes made by the federal 2010 Jobs Act and the 2010 Tax Relief Act, including part of the estate tax changes, some of the enhanced section 179 expense deduction changes under the Code, and all of the business and individual income tax extenders from the federal tax legislation of 2001.
Amends GS 105-130.5(a), GS 105-130.5(b), GS 105-134.6(c), and GS 105-134.6(b) to decouple the state tax code from the extension of the bonus depreciation provision (applies only to new equipment) of the federal 2010 Jobs Act and the 2010 Tax Relief Act. The proposed legislation decouples the state tax code from the bonus depreciation provisions for 2010, 2011, and 2012, and instead requires that under state tax law, a taxpayer must add back 85% of the accelerated depreciation amount in the year that the asset is claimed for federal purposes and in subsequent tax years deduct from federal taxable income the total amount of the add-back, divided into five equal annual installments of the normal depreciation amount plus 20% of the accelerated depreciation amount the taxpayer had to add back.
Section 179 of the IRC permits the expensing of the purchase price of some business assets in the year in which they are purchased rather than taking depreciation throughout the life of the asset (applies to new and used equipment). Section 179 expense deduction provisions for 2010 and 2011 are enhanced by the federal 2010 Jobs Act. Proposed legislation enacts new subdivisions to GS 105-130.5 subsections (a) and (b) and adds new subdivisions to GS 105-134.6 subsections (b) and (c) to decouple the state tax code from the enhanced deduction limits for taxable years 2010 and 2011. Provides that the basis for the affected assets is the same for federal and state tax purposes.
Enacts new GS 105-32.2A to allow the estate of a decedent dying in 2010 that pays the federal estate tax and receives the federal stepped-up basis of the property to elect to receive the stepped-up basis for North Carolina purposes by paying the state estate tax for 2010. Details filing requirements.
Effective date: Provides that any amendments to the Internal Revenue Code enacted after May 1, 2010, that increase North Carolina taxable income for the 2010 taxable year become effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

S 95 (2011-2012) FAIR HOUSING ACT AMENDMENT. Filed Feb 21 2011, AMENDING THE STATE FAIR HOUSING ACT TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RECEIPT OF HOUSING ASSISTANCE.

Amends GS 41A-4(a) (unlawful discriminatory housing practices) to add that discrimination based on the receipt of housing assistance in a real estate transaction is an unlawful discriminatory housing practice. Makes a conforming change to GS 41A-4(g) (concerning land-use decisions and development permits). Makes other technical changes.
Amends GS 41A-3 to define housing assistance as a subsidy provided to defray the cost of rental housing for a household that has a member who is either (1) age 62 or older or (2) has been determined eligible for a government-funded disability program.
Enacts new subsection (c) to GS 41A-5 (proof of violation) to provide that it is not a violation of the State Fair Housing Act if the housing assistance on which the transaction is dependent is not authorized for the transaction within 14 days of the date that the landlord approves the tenant. Makes conforming and technical changes to GS 41A-5.
Makes conforming and technical changes to GS 41A-6(a) (concerning exemptions).
Effective October 1, 2011, and applies to actions taken or not taken on or after that date.

Intro. by Kinnaird.GS 41A
S 96 (2011-2012) PROHIBIT REQUEST TO DISCLOSE EXPUNCTION. Filed Feb 21 2011, TO MAKE IT UNLAWFUL FOR AN EMPLOYER, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, OR STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO REQUEST INFORMATION FROM AN APPLICANT FOR EMPLOYMENT OR ADMISSION REGARDING AN ARREST OR CRIMINAL CHARGE AGAINST THE APPLICANT THAT HAS BEEN EXPUNGED.

Enacts new GS 15A-153 to prohibit any employer, educational institution, or any agency, official, or employee of the state or local government, from requiring, in any application, interview, or otherwise, an applicant to disclose information concerning any arrest or criminal charge against the applicant that has been expunged. Provides that an applicant does not need to include a reference to or information about arrests or charges that have been expunged in response to any question concerning an arrest or criminal charge that did not result in a conviction. Provides that an application for a license, permit, registration, or governmental service will not be denied solely because the applicant refuses or fails to disclose information concerning any expunction. Makes each willful violation of the statute a separate Class 1 misdemeanor. Effective December 1, 2011, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.

Intro. by Kinnaird, McKissick.GS 15A
S 97 (2011-2012) CLARIFY REFUNDS OF TAX OVERPAYMENTS. Filed Feb 21 2011, TO CLARIFY WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE IS REQUIRED TO INITIATE A REFUND OF AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAX AND TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF REFUNDS OF OVERPAYMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT CONSISTENT WITH THIS CLARIFICATION.

Amends GS 105-241.7 to require the Department of Revenue (Department) to refund an overpayment by a taxpayer if the Department discovers the overpayment before the statute of limitations for obtaining a refund expires. Specifies that discovery occurs under any of the following circumstances: (1) the automated processing of a tax return indicates that the return requires additional review, (2) a review of the return by a Department employee indicates an overpayment by the taxpayer, and (3) an audit of the return by a Department employee indicates an overpayment by the taxpayer. Includes General Assembly findings concerning the application of the statute of limitations.

Amends GS 147-64.6B(a) (concerning reports of improper governmental activities) to add that information concerning investigative decisions, actions, and dispositions is considered confidential and may be disclosed only to gather additional information for, or in furtherance of, an investigation under the statute.
