Amends GS 14-415.27, adding NC administrative law judges to the list of persons that have an expanded permit scope for concealed weapons (was, any person who is an administrative law judge as described in GS Chapter 7A, Article 60, with specified conditions).

Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 2nd edition:

Changes the long title.

Amends GS 28A-19-1(c), concerning claims against the estate of a decedent, providing that the court may order a substitution of the personal representative or collector for the decedent on motion, and that motion will constitute the presentation of any claim pending in the action, provided that the substitution or a motion for substitution is made within the time specified for the presentation of claims under GS 28A-19-3 (previously, only spoke to the presentation of a claim, not any pending claim if the substitution is made within the specified time frame). Further provides that neither the timely substitution of the personal representation nor timely motion will extend the time for filing additional claims.

Amends GS 41-23(h), to add that the common law rule against accumulations also does not apply to trusts created or administered in North Carolina (previously, section stated that only GS 41-15 and the rule against perpetuities did not apply to trusts in North Carolina).
