Amends GS 17C-20 to open up eligibility for the Criminal Justice Fellows Program (Program) to all counties (was, tier one counties with a population of less than 125,000).
Amends GS 17C-22 concerning the Program, as follows. Clarifies that the total cap on the amount of forgivable loans is $6,304 over two years. Allows the North Carolina Criminal Justice Fellows Committee to extend the loan period to three years, without increasing the maximum loan amount, if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that circumstances warrant an extension of the period for a selected individual. Amends recipient obligations to require remaining a student (was, full-time student) in the specified program. Adds that the Committee, if it determines that circumstances warrant an extension of the period within which the recipient must obtain an Applied Associate Degree in Criminal Justice or Committee-approved field of study, the Committee may extend that period by up to 12 additional months.
