Bill summary

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

Further amends GS 58-36-65, Classifications and Safe Driver Incentive Plan (Plan) for nonfleet private passenger motor vehicle insurance. Amends subsection (i) to now define conviction to mean a plea of guilty, a plea of no contest, or the determination of guilt by a jury or by a court, even if no sentence has been imposed or, if imposed, has been suspended, and includes forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited to secure appearance in court of the defendant, unless the forfeiture has been vacated (was defined as in GS 20-279.1, which no longer defines the term). Maintains that conviction also means an infraction, as defined. Makes clarifying changes to the proposed changes to subsections (j) and (k) regarding surcharges.
