Part II
Recodifies GS 15A-311 (Consulate documents not acceptable as identification) as GS 64-6.
Amends GS 64-6, as recodified above, deleting language in subsection (c) which previously allowed law enforcement officers to use identity documents issued or created by individuals, organizations, or local governments for the purpose of assisting in determining the identity of a person when no other such documents are available. Makes a technical change to the section's catchline.
Part III
Enacts new GS Chapter 64, Article 3, Local Government Noncompliance with State Laws Related to Immigration, setting out specific findings of the General Assembly, including that the policy objectives of the General Assembly are frustrated when cities, counties, and law enforcement agencies do not uniformly comply with State law and that supreme power and complete discretion over State funds appropriations can be used to create additional incentives for compliance. Sets out three definitions in use for the Article, including affected local government, law enforcement agency, and state law related to immigration--defined as GS 64-6(b) (prohibition on adopting policy or ordinance to accept excluded documents as valid id), GS 153A-145.5 (prohibition on adoption of sanctuary ordinances), or GS 160A-205.2 (prohibition on adoption of sanctuary ordinances).
Directs the Attorney General (AG) to create a form upon which individuals can allege that a city, county, or law enforcement agency is currently not in compliance with a State law related to immigration. The form is to be made available on the AG's website and once completed the form should be sent to the AG. No Social Security number or notarization is required on the form. Anonymous statements submitted on a nonprescribed form are not prohibited from consideration, but all complaints or allegations must be made having a good faith belief.
Requires the AG to begin an investigation into the allegations of noncompliance within 45 days of receipt of filed statement, with a final determination and conclusion of the investigation within 60 days of the investigation's commencement. The AG is authorized to ask for assistance from the State Bureau of Investigation in conducting the investigation. Further directs local governments to produce records or documents related to the investigation within 10 business days of request by the AG. Provides that statements, records, reports, and other investigative documents are confidential and not public records until the investigation is complete or 60 days have elapsed since the investigation was commenced. Authorizes local governments to request that confidential documents be made public.
Sets out consequences of a determination that a local government or law enforcement agency is not in compliance with State law related to immigration. Consequences include ineligibility for specified state distributions for a fiscal year and that the AG will notify the affected local governments, the chairs of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives, the chairs of the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations, and the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM). Directs the OSBM to notify the Departments of Public Instruction and Transportation and the State Controller of affected local governments' ineligibility to receive funds described in subdivision (1), and directs the Departments and the State Controller to ensure that the funds are instead distributed to to other local governments that are eligible for distributions pursuant to the relevant statute.
Also includes provisions detailing consequences of the AG receiving notification of noncompliance with E-verify, which include all of the above consequences. Sets out specific entities that receive the consequences of noncompliance with E-Verify regulations. Provides that no enactment by the General Assembly is to be construed as an exception to the statute unless it specifically mentions the statute.
Sets out procedures and administrative guidelines for the AG, including reporting requirements. Requires the AG to maintain a database of those entities ineligible for funds and to report to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations on a quarterly basis concerning the numbers of statements, investigations, consequences rendered, and the names of those entities found not to be in compliance.
Provides for an appeal to the AG's determination under the Article to the extent and in the manner as required by the federal and State Constitutions. Provides that the imposition of consequences for noncompliance with State law related to immigration pursuant to GS 64-54 is stayed until the appeal under GS 64-56 is complete. Establishes that if an appeal under the statute is unsuccessful, the length of the period during which an affected local government is ineligible to receive funds described in GS 64-54(a)(1) is the same as it would have been had no appeal been made, regardless of which fiscal year(s) the resulting period of ineligibility occurs.
Further states that the AG can designate an official to carry out the duties of this regulation, and that the AG must promulgate rules needed to implement this Article. Provides for a private enforcement action against entities that are not in compliance with State law concerning immigration, in the Superior Court of Wake County; an individual can seek relief in the form of declaratory and injunctive relief. Allows prevailing parties to receive attorneys' fees and court costs.
Amends GS 64-33.1, concerning noncompliance with E-Verify requirements, adding a new subsection (b) that requires the Commissioner of Labor to immediately notify the AG if a political subdivision of the State has violated the E-Verify requirements. The Commissioner of Labor must also notify the AG within 60 days of the violation if the political subdivision has not yet demonstrated compliance with E-Verify.
Directs the AG's office, with the help of the Departments of Transportation and Public Instruction, to notify local governments of the provisions of this act so steps to be in compliance can be taken.
Amends GS 115C-546.2 (public school capital building fund for counties) and GS 136-41.1 (State distributed funds for roads of cities/towns), adding language that prohibits counties or cities/towns from receiving their respective funds if they are ineligible due to noncompliance with state laws related to immigration.

Amends the act's short and long titles.
Deletes all of the provisions of the previous edition and replaces them with the following.
Amends GS 157-4.1 concerning the process and procedure for the establishment and abolishment of a housing authority (authority), deleting language that required a 90 day wait period for the abolishment of an authority after a city passes such a resolution and replacing it with language that now only requires a sufficient time to wind down operations of the authority before abolishing the authority. Amends subsection (c) to provide authority for a municipality to transfer the powers and duties of an authority to a regional council of government (previously, municipalities were only authorized to transfer such powers to a redevelopment commission). Enacts new subdivision (c)8 to specify that the terms of the commissioners of the authority expire on the date set in the abolishing resolution. Provides that after an authority has been abolished, the governing council can appoint an interim director to work with the authority to facilitate the transfer of the authority.

Amends GS 157-4.2 concerning the inclusion of an authority's accounting system as part of a city or county budgeting and accounting system, authorizing a regional council of government's budgeting and accounting system to be an integral part of the budgeting and accounting system of that city or county as specified (previously, such authorization was only provided to redevelopment commissions).

Amends GS 160A-385 (applicable to counties) and GS 153A-344 (applicable to cities), modifying language concerning the applicability of certain ordinances or regulations to already issued building permits, providing that amendments in land development regulations, as specified, including zoning ordinances or unified development ordinances, are not applicable or enforceable without the written consent of the owner with regard to building, uses, or developments for which either a zoning approval that authorizes use of land or a building permit has been issued. Continues to modify language concerning amendments to zoning approval or building permits, adding new subsections (b1) and (b2), providing that such amendments are also not applicable or enforceable without the written consent of the owner if a vested right has been established, with vested rights remaining valid and unexpired or if a vested right is established pursuant to a development agreement. Provides that an established vested right prevents action by cities or counties that would change or delay development or use of the property as stated in the application, with an exception for where there is a change in State or federal law mandating local government enforcement after an application is submitted. Further includes new provisions concerning the vesting of all stages of a multi-phase development at the time of application for the initial phase when the developer has given notice of the multiple phases of the project and has submitted a plan reasonably showing the type and intensity of use for specific parcels of property, including phase boundaries. Provides that once a right is vested, it remains vested for ten years. Includes a disclaimer that nothing prevents a judicial determination of the existence of a vested right. Act provides that these vesting provisions above are effective in regards to phased development approvals that are valid and unexpired on the effective date of the act.
Amends proposed GS 160A-393.1, which provides that in lieu of an appeal to a board of adjustment, specified parties can maintain an original action in superior court or business court for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, damages, or any other remedies provided by law or equity when specified claims or defenses are asserted. The proposed committee substitute amends the list of parties and the specified claims and defenses, deleting the previous claims or defenses and replacing them with the following: (1) the ordinance violates the United States or North Carolina constitutions; (2) the ordinance or the final decision of the administrative official is invalid or unenforceable on grounds of ultra vires, pre-emption (including pre-emption under GS 160A-174(b)), or is otherwise in excess of authority; (3) the ordinance or the final decision of the administrative official violates common law or statutory vested rights of the aggrieved person; or (4) or the ordinance or the final decision of the administrative official constitutes a taking of property. Provides that claims arising from the same final decision can be joined together (previously only allowed the party to raise other such claims or defenses without mention of joining them together). Replaces subsections concerning time frames for filing of actions and means for obtaining relief with provisions establishing that actions brought pursuant to these provisions must be commenced within one year after the date the written notice of the final decision was delivered to the aggrieved party by personal delivery, electronic mail, or first-class mail. Modifies provisions concerning available remedies providing that those entitled to an action under this statute can elect instead to present claims or defenses by way of appeal to the board of adjustment and can appeal a decision by the board of adjustment. Provides, however, that once an appeal has been filed and its hearing before the board of adjustment has commenced, that party cannot thereafter bring an action as authorized by this section (previous language allowed pursuing the administrative remedy of a variance). Adds new provisions requiring the notice of action commenced to abutting landowners by first-class mail. Requires notice to be mailed no later than 30 days after the commencement of the action.
Deletes proposed conforming changes made to GS 160A-364.1(c) concerning the statute of limitations for certain causes of action of development regulations.
Modifies proposed changes to GS 160A-393, provisions concerning the appeals of quasi-judicial decisions of decision-making boards such as the planning board or board of adjustment, requiring the court to decide de novo on specified claims and defenses, including if the ordinance on its face or as applied by final decision of the administrative official violates the US or NC Constitutions, that the ordinance or final decision of the administrative official is invalid or unenforceable on grounds of ultra vires, pre-emption (including pre-emption under GS 160A-174(b)), or is otherwise in excess of authority; or the ordinance or the final decision of the administrative official violates common law or statutory vested rights of the aggrieved person (previously required claims or defenses including the invalidity if an ordinance, a constitutional matter, preemption, 42 USC 1983, or common law vested rights).
Amends proposed GS 160A-393.2, No estoppel effect when challenging unlawful conditions, adding new language which provides that local governments are not permitted to raise estoppel or other grounds as a defense to the challenge by a landowner or permit applicant concerning unlawful conditions imposed on a development.
Amends provisions in GS 6-21.7 that previously allowed the court to award reasonable attorneys' fees upon a finding that the city or county violated a statute that set clear limits on its authority or otherwise abused its discretion, now providing that fees can be awarded on a finding that the city or country violated a statute or case law that set unambiguous limits on its authority. For the purposes of this section, defines unambiguous as meaning the limits of authority are not reasonably susceptible to multiple constructions.
Amends GS 160A-372 (applicable to cities) and GS 153A-331(e) (applicable to counties) providing that subdivision control ordinances can provide for performance guarantees at either the time the plat is recorded or at a time after the recording but must be before a permit is issued. Specifies that if an ordinance is not adopted that sets out performance guarantees that comply with the statute, then cities or counties are not authorized to require the successful completion of required improvements prior to a plat being recorded. Sets out other conditions for performance guarantees, providing that the type and term of the performance guarantee, including any extension, is at the election of the developer provided that any performance guarantee or extension is available to assure the successful completion of improvements for which it is required. Further provides that reductions in the amount of the performance guarantee is allowed by developers reflecting only remaining incomplete items. Sets out additional provisions concerning performance guarantees for cities only, specifically the process for determining the 125% reasonable cost of completion figure, as well as providing the option of posting different forms of performance guarantees. Further sets out who has any claim to any performance guarantee proceeds, including the local government, developer, or entity issuing the guarantee.
Amends GS 160A-381(c) (applicable to cities) and GS 153A-340(c1) (applicable to counties) concerning regulation of special use or conditional use permits, specifying that cities and counties have no authority to establish certain conditions and safeguards, such as taxes, impact fees, building design elements which are not voluntarily offered by the petitioner, excess street improvements not permitted by statute, driveway-related improvements in excess of statute, or other such limitations on development or use of land.
Amends GS 153A-352(b) (applicable to counties) and GS 160A-412(b) (applicable to cities), clarifying that local governments cannot adopt or enforce local ordinances or resolutions requiring regular, routine inspections of buildings or structures that require such inspections beyond requirements of the NC Building Code (previously, language only stated that could not adopt such ordinances).
Amends GS 160A-307 concerning the regulation of driveway connections into any street or alley and deleting a provision that established that in instances of conflict between the Department of Transportation driveway regulations and the driveway improvements required by the city, the more stringent requirement is enforced. Adds language providing that a city cannot require applicants to acquire right-of-way from property not owned by the applicant in regards to driveway improvements.
Changes made to GS 160A-372(g)(6), by Section 7 of this act, are declarative of existing law as to all performance guarantees issued pursuant to GS Chapter 160A or GS Chapter 153A and is not intended to be a change in existing law as to performance guarantees whenever issued. The remainder of this act is effective when it becomes law, and applies to permit applications filed, permits previously issued which remain valid and unexpired on the date this act becomes law, actions filed in court, and claims and defenses asserted on or after that date.

Provides that the animal may be transferred to any of the following individuals, if that individual agrees to accept ownership, care, and custody of the animal: (1) the officer or employee who had normal custody and control of the animal during the animal's public service; (2) a surviving spouse, or in the event such officer or employee dies unsurvived by a spouse, surviving children of the officer or employee killed in the line of duty who had normal custody and control of the animal during the animal's public service; or (3) an organization or program dedicated to the assistance or support of animals retired from public service.
