Senate amendment #3 makes the following changes to the 4th edition, as amended. 

Amends new GS 121-52, which allows museums or archives repositories to acquire title to loaned property. If a museum or repository that has mailed notice to the last known address of the lender of property receives no valid claim, the 4th edition required the museum or repository to advertise in a newspaper of general circulation and the museum or repository's website. The amendment requires the museum or repository instead to make a reasonable effort to locate and inform the owner or the owner's heirs and successors and also to publish notice on an Internet site created by the Department of Cultural Resources. The museum or repository should publish notice for no fewer than 365 consecutive days for property with an estimated value greater than $10,000 and for 180 days for property equal to or less than that value. 

The notice should include a digital image of the property and any documentation executed by the parties, in addition to other information that the 4th edition required in the newspaper publication. 

Amends new GS 121-56 to clarify that a museum may acquire title to undocumented property by following the procedures of new GS 121-52 and not necessarily after a period of seven years without contact between the lender and the museum or repository. 

Makes certain technical changes.

Amendment #3 amends GS 1-51 to clarify the claim period provisions, clarifying that suits, actions, or proceedings for damages under GS 1-539.2D must be brought within five years from the date of the injury.

Amendment #4 amends the long title and enacts a new GS 14-269(b)(3a) to provide that the prohibition on carrying concealed weapons does not apply to members of the NC National Guard who have been designated by the Adjutant General and have a concealed handgun permit while discharging their official duties.
