A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PERMIT RECIPIENTS OF TEACHING FELLOWS SCHOLARSHIP LOANS TO REPAY THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE STATE BY TEACHING FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS LOCATED IN LOW-WEALTH COUNTIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-363.23A(e) reads as rewritten:
"(e)	The Commission shall forgive the loan if, within seven years after graduation, the recipient teaches for four years at a North Carolina public school or at a school operated by the United States government in North Carolina. The Commission shall also forgive the loan if, within seven years after graduation, the recipient teaches for three consecutive years at a North Carolina public school in a local school administrative unit located in a county that qualifies, the first year the recipient teaches, as a low-wealth county under the formula for distribution of supplemental school funding for low-wealth counties, whether or not the county meets the minimum effort requirement for distribution of funds.  The Commission shall also forgive the loan if it finds that it is impossible for the recipient to teach for four years, within seven years after graduation, at a North Carolina public school or at a school operated by the United States government in North Carolina, because of the death or permanent disability of the recipient."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
