A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW REGARDING THE DEFINITION OF NEGLECTED JUVENILE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 7A-517(21) reads as rewritten:
"(21)	Neglected Juvenile. – A juvenile who does not receive proper care, supervision, or discipline from the juvenile's parent, guardian, custodian, or caretaker; or who has been abandoned; or who is not provided necessary medical care; or who is not provided necessary remedial care; or who lives in an environment injurious to the juvenile's welfare; or who has been placed for care or adoption in violation of law.  In determining whether a juvenile is a neglected juvenile, it is relevant whether that juvenile lives in a home where another juvenile has died as a result of abuse or neglect or lives in a home where another juvenile has been subjected to sexual abuse or severe physical abuse by an adult who regularly lives in the home."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective December 1, 1993, and applies to adjudications for acts or omissions on or after that date.
