CERTAIN IN FORM A TION TO BE INCLUDED IN DECLARATIONS FOR CONDOMINIUMS PRIOR TO RE CORD A TION, TO
CLARIFY THE APPLICABILITY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA CONDOMINIUM ACT, TO REQUIRE RESTITUTION FOR SEXUAL
EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR, AND TO CLARIFY EXEMPTIONS FROM THE MARKETABLE TITLE ACT.
House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.
Organizes the act's content into Parts and adds the following new content.
Part II.
Amends GS 47C-1-I02, which sets forth the applicability of the North Carolina Condominium Act, as follows. Current law
lists specified sections of GS Chapter 47C that apply to condominiums created on or before October 1 . 1 986. unless their
declaration expressly provides otherwise. Now, makes the listed sections of the Chapter apply to condominiums created on or
before October 1, 1986. notwithstanding any conflicting provisions in the articles of incorporation, the declaration, or the
bylaws, and notwithstanding any references in those documents to GS Chapter 47A (Unit Ownership Act). However, makes
GS 47C-1-103 (Definitions) apply to condominiums created on or before October 1, 1986, only to the extent necessary in
construing any of the listed sections (previously, also provided that this section did not apply if the declaration expressly
provided to the contrary). Eliminates the provisions specifying that the sections listed do not invalidate existing provisions of
the declarations, bylaws, or plats or plans of condominiums created on or before October 1 , 1986.
Makes conforming changes to GS 47A-2. specifying that the listed sections of GS Chapter 47C made applicable to
condominiums formed on or before October 1. 1986, under GS 37C-1-102, as amended, apply to condominiums formed by a
declaration creating unit ownership made pursuant to GS 47A-2. which specifically reference GS Chapter 47A. Further states
that the provisions of GS Chapter 47C listed in GS 47C-1 -102 are not in conflict with GS Chapter 47 A.
Part 111.
Enacts GS 14-190. 17B. requiring courts to order restitution for first, second, or third degree sexual exploitation of a minor
offenses (set forth in GS 14-190. 16, 14-190. 17, and 14-190.17A, respectively). Also requires courts to order a defendant who
viewed child pornography and has been convicted of first, second, or third degree sexual exploitation of a minor to make
restitution. Directs the court to determine the full amount of the victim's losses for costs incurred as a proximate result of the
offense, including applicable injuries and damages described in GS 1 5A-1340.35 (Basis for restitution); medical services
relating to physical, psychiatric, or psychological care; physical and occupational therapy or rehabilitation; transportation,
temporary housing, and childcare expenses; loss of income; litigation costs; and other relevant losses incurred by the victim.
Provides for apportionment when more than one defendant contributed to the losses of the victim. Allows for the defendant to
petition the court to amend the order upon showing the victim has received restitution in the full amount of the victim's
determined losses. Allows the court to require the victim to provide information for amounts paid in other cases for the same
losses. States that the court is not required to order restitution if the victim has not been identified. Provides for the statute to
supersede Article 8 1C, GS Chapter 1 5A (governing restitution in criminal cases), in case of conflict. Applies to orders for
restitution entered on or after December 1. 2021 .
Part IV.
