Bill > H911

This bill, the Regulatory Reform Act of 2022, contains several key provisions: 1. It modifies the requirements for a Residency License (RL) for teachers, allowing the governing body of a public school unit (instead of just the local board of education) to request the RL and certify the supervision from the educator preparation program. It also reduces the required prior experience for RL from 5 years to 1 year. 2. It authorizes sanitary districts to create, maintain, and operate parks and recreation programs and facilities. 3. It clarifies the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board's authority to issue civil penalties to licensees and veterinary facility permittees. 4. It makes technical changes to the administration of state grant funds, removing requirements for grantees to file certain information with the State Auditor. 5. It updates the lead dust standards to align with federal guidelines, reducing the allowable levels in homes and facilities. 6. It expands the types of sensitive public security information that are exempt from public disclosure requirements. 7. It exempts off-frame modular homes from certain North Carolina Building Code design element requirements. 8. It extends the deadline for small municipalities (population 1,500 or less) to adopt comprehensive land-use plans from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023. 9. It allows consumer finance licensees to take a confession of judgment from a borrower following their failure to make a required loan payment. 10. It clarifies the scope of licensed water heater installation and repair work.
