A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to expand the protection against false liens to include the immediate family of a public officer or public employee.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 14‑118.6(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to
present for filing in a public record or a private record generally available
to the public a false lien or encumbrance against the real or personal property
of a public officer or public employee officer, a public employee, or
an immediate family member of the public officer or public employee on
account of the performance of the public officer or public employee's official
duties, knowing or having reason to know that the lien or encumbrance is false
or contains a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or
representation. For purposes of this subsection, the term "immediate
family member" means a spouse or a child. Any person who violates this
subsection shall be guilty of a Class I felony."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective December 1, 2013, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
