Not Official

While every effort was made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the statutes available on the North Carolina General Assembly's website, the North Carolina General Assembly will not be responsible for any errors or omissions which may occur in these files. Please notify NCGA Website Support if you find any irregularities in the statutes on this website. NCGA Website Support will relay the information to appropriate staff members of the North Carolina General Assembly to investigate the irregularities.

If a statute indicates "(see Editor's note)" or "(see note)", the note can be viewed in the printed copy of the General Statutes in a library or courthouse setting or in the online statutes available through LexisNexis on a subscription basis.

Service

The North Carolina General Assembly offers access to the Statutes on the Internet as a service to the public. The Webmanager is unable to assist users of this service with legal questions. Additionally, legislative staff cannot respond to requests for legal advice or the application of the law to specific facts from anyone except members of the North Carolina General Assembly. Therefore, to understand and protect your legal rights, you should consult your own private lawyer. Please refer legal questions elsewhere.
