Identical to S 349, filed 3/19/15.

Enacts new GS 20-17.1A providing that if otherwise eligible the Division of Motor Vehicles (Division) must restore the driver's license of a person adjudicated to be restored to competency after receiving notice from the clerk of court in which the adjudication is made. This does not require the Division to restore the driver's license of a person if (1) the person's driver's license was revoked because of a conviction or other act requiring revocation and (2) the person has not met the requirements for restoration of the person's driver's license.

Amends GS 35A-1130 add that the clerk of court must send a certified copy of an order adjudicating that the ward is restored to competency to the Division. Makes language gender-neutral.

Effective July 1, 2015.
