Amends GS 17C-13, applicable to the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission, and GS 17E-12, applicable to the North Carolina Sheriffs' Education and Training Standards Commission, by specifying that the relevant Commission's power to deny, suspend, or revoke a person's certification based solely on the person's felony conviction does not apply if the conviction was expunged under GS 15A-145.4 (expunction of records for first offenders who are under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of a nonviolent felony) or GS 15A-145.8A (expunction of records for offenders under the age of 18 at the time of commission of certain misdemeanors and felonies upon completion of the sentence).

Requires the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission to adopt a rule to amend the Rule so that it is consistent with this implementation.
