Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Removes "having reason to know" from the knowledge requirement for the felony of filing a false lien or encumbrance under GS 14-118.6(a).

Amends GS 14-118.6(b) to direct the clerk of court to not file, index, or docket the document the clerk reasonably suspects to be a false lien or encumbrance against the property of a public officer or public employee until a judge of the judicial district having subject matter jurisdiction approves the filing of the document (currently, until that document is approved for filling by the clerk of superior court and a judge having subject matter jurisdiction).

Amends GS 14-159.12(b) to add subsection (f) to provisions that may provide another classification for first degree trespass other than a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Changes GS 14-159.12(f)(1), providing that a violation of the statute (for first degree trespass) is a Class 1 felony and includes a fine of no less than $1,000 for each violation if the offense occurs on real property where the person has reentered after having previously been removed pursuant to the execution of a valid order or writ for possession (was, pursuant to a valid order for possession).

Changes the long title.
