Includes whereas clauses.
Enacts GS 115C-104.10, authorizing local boards of education to adopt a policy authorizing students to earn elective course credit for alternative educational opportunities that take place outside of the required instructional day. Sets forth six criteria with which local board policies must adhere, including establishing a process and criteria for local boards to approve alternate educational opportunities.

Beginning November 15, 2023, requires each local board opting to adopt such a policy to annually report to DPI, with specified content. Beginning December 15, 2023, requires DPI to compile local boards' reports and annually report information at the State level and by local school administrative unit to the specified NCGA committee.
Enacts GS 115C-47(34b), authorizing local boards to adopt a policy establishing requirements for approval of alternative educational opportunities for elective course credit as provided in new GS 115C-104.10, as enacted.

Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Amends GS 166A-19.30 by adding that if the Council of State fails to concur with the Governor's executive order exercising power under (a), (b), and (c) of the statute, then the Governor is prohibited from issuing a substantially similar executive order arising from the same events that form the basis to issue the initial executive order that did not receive concurrence.

Bill S 346 (2021-2022)Summary date: Mar 24 2021 - View Summary
Amends GS 166A-19.30 to condition the additional powers granted to the Governor under the statute during a gubernatorially or legislatively declared state of emergency on the concurrence of the Council of State. Makes any executive order issued by the Governor that exercises any of the enumerated powers granted under subsections (a), (b), and (c) of the statute expire 10 calendar days after issuance unless the Council of State concurs; if the Council of State concurs, the order expires 45 calendar days after issuance unless legislatively extended. Prohibits the Governor from issuing a substantially similar executive order arising from the same event as an executive order that was not legislatively extended.
Adds Council of State and executive order to the defined terms in GS 166A-19.3. Adds concurrence of the Council of State and defines the term to mean the consensus, within 10 calendar days of the issuance of an executive order, of a majority of the membership of the Council of State prior to the Governor exercising a power of authority requiring concurrence of the Council of State. Requires the Governor to document the contact with and response of each member and release the member's response, or no response, provided by each member by name and position on the same website in which the executive order is published. Requires simultaneous release of information by the Governor with exercising the stated authority if concurrence is achieved.
House committee substitute to the 3rd edition changed the long title. Original title was AN ACT TO DEFINE AND CLARIFY THE PROCESS BY WHICH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS ISSUED BY THE GOVERNOR.
