A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to modify the restrictions placed on offenders during post‑release supervision.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 15A‑1368.4(b1) reads as rewritten:
"(b1)	Additional Required Conditions for Sex Offenders and Persons Convicted of Offenses Involving Physical, Mental, or Sexual Abuse of a Minor. – In addition to the required condition set forth in subsection (b) of this section, for a supervisee who has been convicted of an offense which is a reportable conviction as defined in G.S. 14‑208.6(4), or which involves the physical, mental, or sexual abuse of a minor, controlling conditions, violations of which may result in revocation of post‑release supervision, are:
(1)	Register as required by G.S. 14‑208.7 if the offense is a reportable conviction as defined by G.S. 14‑208.6(4).
(2)	Participate in such evaluation and treatment as is necessary to complete a prescribed course of psychiatric, psychological, or other rehabilitative treatment as ordered by the Commission.
(3)	Not communicate with, be in the presence of, or found in or on the premises of the victim of the  offense, in the discretion of the Commission.
(4)	Not reside in a household with any minor child if the offense is one in which there is evidence of sexual abuse of a  minor, unless approved by the Commission.
(5)	Not reside in a household with any minor child if the offense is one in which there is evidence of physical or mental abuse of a minor, unless  the Commission expressly finds that it is unlikely that the defendant's harmful or abusive conduct will recur and that it would be in the child's best interest to allow the supervisee to reside in the same household with a minor child.
(6)	Submit to satellite‑based monitoring pursuant to Part 5 of Article 27A of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes, if the offense is a reportable conviction as defined by G.S. 14‑208.6(4) and the supervisee is in the category described by G.S. 14‑208.40(a)(1).
(7)	Submit to satellite‑based monitoring pursuant to Part 5 of Article 27A of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes, if the offense is a reportable conviction as defined by G.S. 14‑208.6(4) and the supervisee is in the category described by G.S. 14‑208.40(a)(2)."
SECTION 2.  G.S. 15A‑1368.4(e)(14) reads as rewritten:
"(e)	Controlling Conditions. – Appropriate controlling conditions, violation of which may result in revocation of post‑release supervision, are:
…
(14)	Submit to supervision by officers assigned to the Intensive Post‑Release Supervision Program established pursuant to G.S. 143B‑262(c), and abide by the rules adopted for that Program and conditions ordered by the Commission."
