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

Amends new GS 7A-304.1 to require that court costs of $50 be assessed against a probationer if pursuant to a hearing held under GS 15A-1344 or GS 15A-1345, the probationer is found to be in violation of probation (previously did not require a violation in order to be assessed the costs).

Amends new subsections (h) of GS 15A-1344 and (f) of GS 15A-1345 to clarify that the assessment of the probation violation court costs required by GS 7A-304.1, as amended in this act, is contingent upon the probationer being found to be in violation of probation pursuant to a hearing.

This act becomes effective December 1, 2015 (was, July 1, 2015), and applies to probation violations occurring on or after that date.
