Changes the long title of the bill to reflect changes in the bill.

Deletes amendment to GS 115C-6 and instead directs the Legislative Research Commission to study issues relating to parental rights, which may include federal law and laws in other states, legislation to protect and preserve parental rights, compelling governmental interests that justify interference with parental rights, and whether parental rights extend to other than biological parents.  The LRC is authorized to make an interim report to the 2014 session and is required to make a final report to the 2015 session.
