House committee substitute rewrites 1st edition in its entirety and changes the bill title accordingly.
Section 1 states the intent of the General Assembly to continue efforts to regulate the sale of pseudoephedrine products that are used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Section 2 amends Article 5D of GS Chapter 90 to add a new section (GS 90-113.52A) increasing regulation of pseudoephedrine by requiring retail sellers of this product to submit certain information to the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx) administered by the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI) prior to completing the sale. Retailers without Internet access are not subject to this reporting requirement, nor does it apply if there is a charge assessed for accessing the system. If the NPLEx generates a stop alert at the time the retailer enters required information into the system, the retailer cannot complete the sale. States that qualified immunity from civil liability for use of the NPLEx system is available absent negligence or wanton, recklessness, or deliberate misconduct. Retailers not able to comply with this reporting requirement due to mechanical or electronic failure are required to record the sale of pseudoephedrine in the record of disposition required under GS 90-113.52. Requires NADDI to provide the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) with transaction records reported in NPLEx on a weekly basis pursuant to a memorandum of agreement executed between NADDI and the SBI. The NPLEx system is required to have a stop sale alert to notify the retailer during a particular sales transaction if the quantity limits established under GS 90-113.52 have been exceeded. Requires the system to also contain an override function to allow dispensing of the product if there is a reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm if the sale is not completed. Utilization of the override function must be reported in the NPLEx system.
Section 3 amends GS 90-113.56 to add violating the NPLEx reporting requirement to the offenses punishable under that statute.
Section 4 requires the SBI to determine the number of methamphetamine laboratories discovered in this state during each calendar year and to report those findings to the Legislative Commission on Methamphetamine Abuse beginning March 1, 2012, and annually thereafter.
Section 5 directs the Legislative Commission on Methamphetamine Abuse to study the implementation of the legislation and the potential costs of making pseudoephedrine products Schedule III controlled substances. The Commission is authorized to make an interim report to the 2012 regular session and directed to make a final report and recommendations to the 2013 regular session.
Sections 2 and 3 become effective January 1, 2012 (Section 3 applies to all criminal offenses occurring on or after that date) and the remainder of the bill is effective when it becomes law.

Senate committee substitute, reported in on 6/7/11, makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Deletes proposed GS 108A-31.1 regarding eligibility for assistance under the Work First program. Instead directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to make the following changes to the Work First Program, applicable to Standard and Electing counties, except where prohibited by federal law: (1) include a requirement in all Mutual Responsibility Agreements (MRAs) that all Work Eligible Individuals must engage in four hours per month of Community Service activity or the maximum amount of Community Service hours allowable under the Fair Labor Standards Act, whichever is less and (2) require any individual participating in Job Search/ Job Readiness for four consecutive weeks to participate in the Community Service work activity for more than the mandatory four hours included in that individual’s MRA but not in excess of the maximum allowable hours under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Provides that this additional Community Service requirement ceases when Job Search/ Job readiness activities terminate. Sets a 12-weeks-in-a-year limit on Job Search/ Job readiness activities as state countable activities, with no more than eight weeks being consecutive.
Additionally provides that any benefits recipient meeting the definition of disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) must be provided reasonable accommodations, which may include exemption from the Community Service requirement. Effective October 1, 2011. Applies to MRAs entered into on or after that date. Provides that all changes which necessitate a change in the Work First Program State Plan will be effected by temporary rule until the next State Plan is approved by the General Assembly.

Directs DHHS to exempt only one vehicle owned or leased per household when considering those resources that can be readily converted to cash except where prohibited by federal law. Provides that this exemption cannot exceed $15,000 and that if any vehicle has a greater fair market value than $15,000, the amount in excess of $15,000 is considered a resource that can readily be converted to cash.
