Whereas the acts of the General Assembly relating to public education are for the purpose of aiding all the people, and espe- cially school officials, in maintaining and conducting a system of public schools and in providing revenue for the same; and Whereas a great need is apparent for collecting all the laws relating to public education and codifying them in such a way as to set forth as clearly as possible the legal duties, powers, and responsibilities of the several school officials, in order to give them and all other friends of public education a clearer concep- tion of their duties in maintaining and conducting public schools in accordance with the needs of the people and the provisions of the Constitution: Now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: PART I ARTICLE I.

There may be one district for each elementary school or there may be two or more elementary schools in the same district. There may be one district for both the elementary and the high school; or a special high school district may be created embracing two or more school districts. But no special high school district shalP be created unless provisions are made for conducting all elementary schools and the high school in the proposed special high school district the same length of term. Whenever a special high school district is created embracing two or more elementary schools the committee, or board of trustees, of the district in which the high school is located shall have the same jurisdiction over the high school that it has over the elementary school. There may be one district and one school committee for both races, or the races may have separate districts and separate school committees. The county board of education shall consult the convenience and necessities of each race in fixing the boundary lines of school districts for each race, and it shall be the duty of the county board of education to record, in a book kept for the purpose, the location of each school district and the boundary lines of each. Sec. 73a. County-wide plan of organization. The county board of education shall create no new district nor shall it divide or abolish a district, nor shall it consolidate districts or parts of districts, except in accordance with a countywide plan of organization, as follows: 1 The county board of education shall present a diagram or map of the county showing the present location of each district, the position of each, the location of roads, streams and other natural barriers, the number of children in each district, the size and condition of each school building in each county. The county board of education shall then prepare a county-wide plan for the organization of all the schools of the county. This plan shall indicate the proposed changes to be made and how districts or parts of districts are proposed to be consolidated so as to work out a more advantageous school system for the entire county. 2 Before adopting the county-wide plan, the county board of education shall call a meeting of all the school committeemen and the boards of trustees and lay the proposed plan before them for their advice and suggestions. After receiving the advice of the committeemen and trustees, the county board of education shall have authority to adopt a county-wide plan of organization, and no districts or parts of any district, including non-local tax, local tax, and special charter districts, hereafter referred to in this article, shall be consolidated or the boundary lines changed, unless the consolidation or the change of boundary lines is in accordance with the adopted county-wide plan of organization: Provided, that in the event the county board of education deems it wise to modify or change the adopted plan, the board shall notify the committeemen and interested patrons and give them a hearing, if they desire to be heard, before any changes shall be made. 3 The county board of education shall have authority to execute the entire plan or any part of the same, but the county board of education shall have no authority to create a debt for the execution of any part of the proposed plan, unless authorized by law, and if the amount necessary to put into operation all or any part of said plan shall be greater than the amount that may be reasonably expected from the Operating and Equipment Fund for this purpose, the amount shall be guaranteed by the districts affected by the execution of the plan, or if the districts do not guarantee the funds the county board of education shall lay the proposed plan before the county commissioners, together with the estimated amount necessary to put the same into operation, and if the amount necessary to carry out all or any part of the proposed plan shall be approved by the county commissioners, the county board of education shall then have the authority to organize the districts in accordance with the county-wide plan. 4, When the proposed county-wide plan is adopted the county board shall notify the committeemen and boards of trustees as to what part of the plan the board proposes to carry out first and in what order the other parts of the plan will be considered, and the preference shall be given to those districts in which the needs are greatest if the funds for providing the equipment are made available. 5 In the event that any child or children of any district or any part of a district are without adequate school advantages, and these advantages may be improved by transferring said child or children to a school or schools in adjoining districts, the county board shall have authority to make such a transfer. But this shall not empower the county board of education to abolish or divide a district unless such act shall be in harmony with the county-wide plan of organization. The temporary transfer of such child or children may be made until such time as the countywide plan will provide more advantageously for them. 1923 Public Laws Ch. 136 Sec. 125 Identified by: model CHAPTER 136 AN ACT TO AMEND THE CONSOLIDATED STATUTES AND TO CODIFY THE LAWS RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The party affiliation of the voters shall not be entered in this general election registration book. When this is completed, there shall be prepared for each precinct in duplicate a list of all the registered voters whose names were not transferred to the new general election registration book for the reason that such electors did not appear, according to the poll books, to have voted in either the general election or the primary election of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six or one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight. The said Chairman of the County Board of Elections shall thereafter publish said lists once a week for at least two consecutive weeks in a county journal or in his discretion have said lists posted at the courthouse door of said county at least two weeks prior to the opening of the regular primary registration period notifying all persons on said lists that their names would be erased from the registration books unless such persons personally appeared before their respective registrars during the regular registration period and showed their right to remain on the registration book and vote as qualified electors in said precinct. In the event that either the one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six or one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight poll books for a precinct are lost and cannot be found then the chairman shall order a new registration of voters in such precinct before the primary election. In all counties having had a new countywide registration of voters, either in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six or one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, the said chairman in said county is authorized to transfer to the new registration books the names of all persons registered therein regardless of whether any of the persons so registered voted in either of said elections or primary elections of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six or one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, except that the chairman shall remove from the books the names of all persons known by the chairman to have died or moved their voting residence elsewhere since said registration was held: Provided, however, that if the registration books in those counties having had a new registration within the time above mentioned do not show the party affiliation of the voter together with the other required information then the chairman shall order a new registration therein. In instances where the party affiliation is shown part of the time and is not shown in some cases, then the procedure set forth in the third section of this Act shall be followed: Provided, further, that in those counties having had a new county-wide registration of voters either in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six or one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, which registration, revision and relisting of voters was performed in substantial compliance with the terms of this Act, in the opinion of the Chairman of the State Board of Elections the said chairman will not be required to comply with the terms and provisions of this Act. 1939 Public Laws Ch. 263 Sec. 3 Identified by: model CHAPTER 263 AN ACT TO AMEND SECTIONS FIVE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE AND SIX THOUSAND TWEN- TY-SEVEN OF THE CONSOLIDATED STATUTES OF NORTH CAROLINA SO AS TO REQUIRE A NEW STATE- WIDE REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

All blank return forms of this kind so received by the registrars shall be kept until after the primary election and thereafter filed with the said chairman along with the precinct returns as part of the public records in the chairmans office: Provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not be mandatory as to any voter when the Chairman of the County Board of Elections with the assistance of the registrars, or from any available source of information can obtain the facts, set out in said section, required to be obtained by the Election Laws of the State; but in all cases the party affiliation shall be shown on the primary registration books in order for the voter to participate in the primary election. However, in the event that any person, whose name has been removed from the registration book by said County Board of Elections as having been disqualified to vote in the precinct, should appear at the polling place on election or primary day and give satisfactory evidence to the registrar and judges that he had never received any notice by mail or otherwise of his name being placed among the list of disqualified voters in that precinct, and can satisfy said officials that he is qualified to vote in that precinct, then such persons name shall be placed back on the general election registration book and on the primary registration book if he declares his party affiliation as provided in Section six, and he shall be allowed to vote in said precinct as before. 1939 Public Laws Ch. 263 Sec. 4 Identified by: model CHAPTER 263 AN ACT TO AMEND SECTIONS FIVE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE AND SIX THOUSAND TWEN- TY-SEVEN OF THE CONSOLIDATED STATUTES OF NORTH CAROLINA SO AS TO REQUIRE A NEW STATE- WIDE REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Sec. 1 Chapter 115 of the General Statutes relating to public education is hereby amended by adding a new article, to be designated Article 35, as follows: ARTICLE 35 Education Expense Grants Section 1 Statement of legislative policy and purposes. The General Assembly of North Carolina recognizes and hereby affirms that knowledge, morality, and adherence to fundamental principles of individual freedom and responsibility are necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind; and further affirms that schools and the means of education ought forever to be encouraged. The value and importance of our public schools are known and acknowledged by our people. It is further recognized that our public schools are so intimately related to the customs and feelings of the people of each community that their effective operation is impossible except in conformity with community attitudes. Our people need to be assured that no child will be forced to attend a school with children of another race in order to get an education. It is the purpose of the State of North Carolina to make available, under the conditions and qualifications set out in this Act, education expense grants for the private education of any child of any race residing in this State. In so doing, it is the hope of the General Assembly of North Carolina that all peoples within our State shall respect deeply-felt convictions, and that our public school system shall be continually strengthened and improved, and sustained by the support of all our citizens. Sec. 2 Every child residing in this State for whom no public school is available, or who is assigned to a public school attended by a child of another race against the wishes of his parent or guardian or the person standing in loco parentis to such child, is entitled to apply for an education expense grant from State funds appropriated for that purpose. Such grants shall be available only for education in a private nonsectarian school, and in the case of a child assigned to a public school attended by a child of another race, shall, in addition, be available only when it is not reasonable and practicable to reassign such child to a public school not attended by a child of another race. For purposes of this Article, a nonsectarian school is defined as a school whose operation is not controlled directly or indirectly by any church or sectarian body or by any individual or individuals acting on behalf of a church or sectarian body. Sec. 3 It shall be the policy of the State to make an education expense grant available to each eligible child, as provided under this Article, which is equal to the per-day, per-student amount of State funds expended 4 on public schools throughout the State during the preceding school year, but in no event, shall a grant for any child exceed the amount actually expended for the private education of such child. The State Board of Education shall determine the maximum amount of the grant to be made available to each child, and in so doing, shall take into account the total expenditures for all current expenses and for debt service on State school bonds made from State funds for the preceding school year. Sec. 4 Application for an education expense grant shall be made to the board of education of the administrative unit within which the child resides. Such application shall be on standard forms prescribed by the State Board of Education for that purpose and shall be signed under oath or affirmation by the parent or guardian of or the person standing in loco parentis to the child for whom application is made. Sec. 5 Application for an education expense grant shall be approved if the board of education to whom application is made finds that: (a) the child for whom application is made resides within the administrative unit; and (b) there is no public school available for such child, or such child is now assigned against the wishes of his parent or guardian or of the person standing in loco parentis to such child to a public school attended by a child of another race and it is not reasonable and practicable to reassign such child to a public school not attended by a child of another race; and (c) such child is enrolled in or has been accepted for enrollment in a private nonsectarian school, recognized and approved under Article 32 of this Chapter. Sec. 6 Each application for an education expense grant shall specify the number of school days for which the grant is requested, but in no event shall any one application be for more than one school year or the equivalent of one hundred and eighty -180 school days. If the conditions of Section 5 of this Article continue to be met, application may be filed on behalf of a child, who has received benefits under a previous application, for another school year or part thereof. Sec. 7 Upon approving the application for an education expense grant from State funds, the board of education shall give notice in writing to the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis to the child concerned of an education grant commitment for a specified number of school days and for a specified amount for each school day, but no one commitment shall exceed one hundred and eighty -180 school days. So long as the requirements set out in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 5 of this Article are met during the period of the education grant commitment, the board, unless requested otherwise by the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis, shall continue payments under such commitment notwithstanding the fact that a change of conditions since approval of the application may make it reasonable and practicable to assign such child to a public school not atteaded by a child of another race. Sec. 8 Upon disapproval of an application for an education expense grant, whether payable from State or local funds, the board of education 5 shall give notice to the applicant by registered mail, and any applicant may within ten -10 days after receipt of such notice apply to such board for a hearing, and shall be given a prompt and fair hearing on the question of entitlement to an education expense grant. The board shall render prompt decision upon such hearing, and if the board shall affirm its previous action of disapproval of the application, notice shall be given to the applicant by registered mail, and any applicant aggrieved by the action of the board may within ten -10 days after receipt of such notice file a petition in the superior court of the county in which the board sits for a hearing in the matter on all questions of fact and of law. Notice of the petition shall be properly served upon the board of education. The board shall have fifteen -15 days after receipt of notice of the petition within which to prepare and furnish to the petitioner or his attorney a certified transcript of the record in the case for filing in the superior court, which record shall include a copy of the application and any official orders and rulings of the board in the case. Additional time for preparation of the record may be granted to the board, for good cause, upon motion before the clerk of the superior court. The petition in the superior court may be heard by the resident judge of the district or by the judge presiding at a term of court in that district, and such judge shall have authority to take testimony and examine into the facts of the case, and to determine all questions of fact and of law, and enter judgment thereon. From the judgment of the superior court an appeal may be taken by the petitioner or the board to the Supreme Court in the same manner as other appeals are taken from judgments of such court in civil actions. Sec. 9 Payments of education expense grants shall be made by check upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that the child for whom payment is made actually attended a private nonsectarian school, recognized and approved under Article 32 of this Chapter. The school attended shall furnish, upon forms prescribed by the State Board of Education, a sworn certificate signed by the director or other appropriate official of the school, showing the number of school days actually attended by the child for whom payment is made. A child is deemed to be in attendance, within the meaning of this Section, although temporarily absent due to illness or other good cause, so long as such child is enrolled in the school as a bona fide student. Checks in payment of education expense grants shall be made payable jointly to the parent or guardian of or the person standing in loco parentis to the child and the school which the child attended, and shall be mailed to the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis for endorsement; provided, that if the school attended shall indicate in its certificate that the tuition and expenses for such child have already been paid the check shall be made payable to the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis alone. Sec. 10 Payments of education expense grants shall be made by each board of education monthly, bimonthly or quarterly in accordance with uniform regulations adopted and promulgated by the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education is authorized and directed to prescribe standard forms for application for grants, for notice of education 6 grant commitment, for certificates of attendance, and such other forms as may be necessary or desirable in the administration of the provisions of this Article.

See, 11 Payments of individual education expense grants from State funds shall be made only by warrants drawn on the State Treasurer, signed by the chairman and the secretary of the county or city board of education. The fiscal procedures prescribed in other Articles of this Chapter, unless in conflict with some specific provision in this Article, shall apply to the handling and management of State funds appropriated for education expense grants. Sec. 12 No education expense grant shall be paid for any child except for attendance at a private nonsectarian school found to be in compliance with the provisions of Article 32 of this Chapter. It shall be the duty of the State Board of Education to maintain a current list of all such approved schools and to furnish such information from time to time to county and city boards of education. Payment of education expense grants for or on behalf of any child attending such a school shall not vest in the State of North Carolina, the State Board of Education or any agency or political subdivision of the State any supervision or control whatever over such nonpublic schools or any responsibility whatever for their conduct and operation. Sec. 18 The appropriate tax levying authorities for any administrative unit may, upon recommendation of the board of education of such unit, appropriate amounts from any local tax or non-tax funds for a local education expense grant. In no event, shall the combined total of grants for any one child, from both State and local funds, exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred in the private education of such child. Sec. 14 Application for a local education expense grant shall be filed with the board of education of the administrative unit when local funds have been appropriated or allotted for such purpose. No child shall be entitled to a local education expense grant who is not at the same time eligible, under the provisions of this Article, for a grant from State funds. Sec. 15 Each application for a local education expense grant shall specify the number of school days for which the grant is requested, but in no event shall any one application be granted for more than one school year or the equivalent of one hundred and eighty -180 school days. If the child who has received benefits under a previous application continues to be otherwise eligible, an application for a local education expense grant for another school year or part thereof may be filed in his behalf. Sec. 16 Payments of local education expense grants shall be made by check upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that the child for whom payment is made actually attended a private nonsectarian school recognized and 7 approved under Article 32 of this Chapter. The school attended shall furnish, in such form as may be prescribed by the local board of education, a sworn certificate signed by the director or other appropriate official of the school, showing the number of school days actually attended by the child for whom payment is made. A child is deemed to be in attendance, within the meaning of this Section, although temporarily absent due to illness or other good cause, so long as such child is enrolled in such school as a bona fide student. Checks in payment of local education expense grants shall be made payable jointly to the parent or guardian of or the person standing in loco parentis to the child and the school which the child attended, and shall be mailed to the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis for endorsement; provided, that if the school attended shall indicate in its certificate that the tuition and expenses for such child have already been paid the check shall be made payable to the parent or guardian or person standing in loco parentis alone. Sec. 17 Payments of local education expense grants shall be made by each board of education monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by each local board. In administering local grant payments, each board shall, so far as practicable, follow the procedures prescribed by the State Board of Education for the payment of education expense grants from State funds. Sec. 18 All local funds for education expense grants, from whatever source provided, shall be managed, supervised and disbursed in accordance with the procedures set out in other Articles of this Chapter, pertaining to administration of local school funds, except where such procedures are in conflict with some provision of this Article. Sec. 19 No local education expense grant shall be paid for or on behalf of any child except for attendance at a private nonsectarian school found to be in compliance with the provisions of Article 32 of this Chapter. Sec. 20 Any person who shall knowingly make any FALSE affidavit or shall knowingly swear or affirm falsely to any matter or thing required by the terms of this Article to be sworn or affirmed to shall be guilty of perjury, and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine and imprisonment as other persons committing perjury are punishable. Sec. 21 It shall be unlawful for any parent or guardian or the person standing in loco parentis to a child to accept any payment authorized by this Article knowing that the child for whose benefit the payment is received did not actually attend, or was not actually a bona fide student at, a private nonsectarian school during the period for which payment is received. Any person violating this Section shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the States prison for not more than five -5 years or by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or by both such fine and imprisonment. Sec. 22 It shall be unlawful for any official or employee of any school, acting wilfully or corruptly, to receive any payment of a grant authorized by this Article, knowing that said school is not entitled to such payment. Any person violating this Section shall be guilty of a felony and upon con- 8 viction shall be punished by imprisonment in the States prison for not more than five -5 years or by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or by both such fine and imprisonment. 1956 extra Session Laws Ch. 5 Sec. 1 Identified by: model CHAPTER 5 AN ACT TO AMEND G.

Sec. 1 Chapter 48 of the General Statutes of North Carolina is hereby rewritten to read as follows: 48-1. Legislative intent; construction of Chapter. The General Assembly hereby declares as a matter of legislative policy with respect to adoption that -1 The primary purpose of this Chapter is to protect children from unnecessary separation from parents who might give them good homes and loving care, to protect them from adoption by persons unfit to have the responsibility of their care and rearing, and to protect them from interference, long after they have become properly adjusted in their adoptive homes, by natural parents who may have some legal claim because of a defect in the adoption procedure. -2 The secondary purpose of this Chapter is to protect the natural parents from hurried decisions, made under strain and anxiety, to give up a child, and to protect foster parents from assuming responsibility for a child about whose heredity or mental or physical condition they know nothing, and to prevent later disturbance of their relationship to the child by natural parents whose legal rights have not been fully protected. -3 When the interest of a child and those of an adult are in conflict, such conflict should be resolved in favor of the child; and to that end this Chapter should be liberally construed. 48-2. Definitions. In this Chapter, unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires -1 Adult person means any person who has attained the age of twenty-one years. -2 Licensed child-placing agency means any agency operating under a license to place children for adoption issued by the State Board of Public Welfare, or, in the event that such agency is in another state or territory or in the District of Columbia, operating under a license to place children for adoption issued by the State Welfare Agency or other duly authorized agency of such state, territory, or the District of Columbia. 48-3. Who may be adopted. Any minor child may be adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Act. 48-4. Who may adopt children. (a) any person over twentyone years of age may petition in a special proceeding in the Superior Court to adopt a minor child and for a change of the name of such child. If the petitioner has a husband or wife living, competent to join in the petition, such spouse shall join in the petition. (b) Provided, however, that if the spouse of the petitioner in a natural parent of the child to be adopted, such spouse need not join in the petition but need only to give consent as provided in G. S. 48-7, (d). (c) Provided further, that the petitioner or petitioners shall have resided in North Carolina for one year next preceding the filing of the petition. 48-5. Parents, etc., not necessary parties to adoption proceedings upon finding of abandonment. (a) In all cases where a court of competent jurisdiction has declared a child to be an abandoned child, the parent, parents, or guardian of the person shall not be necessary parties to any proceeding under this Chapter, nor shall their consent be required. (b) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction has not theretofore declared the child to be an abandoned child, then on written notice of not less than five days to the parent, parents, or guardian of the person, the court in the adoption proceeding is hereby authorized to determine that an abandonment has taken place. (c) If the parent, parents, or guardian of the person deny that an abandonment has taken place, this issue of fact shall be determined as provided in G. S. 1-273, and if abandonment be determined, then the consent of the parent, parents, or guardian of the person shall not be required. Upon final determination of this issue of fact the proceeding shall be transferred back to the special proceedings docket for further action by the clerk. (d) A copy of the order of the court declaring a child abandoned must be filed in the proceeding with the petition in which case the consent required under G. S. 48-7 must be given in accordance with G. S. 48-9, Subsection (2). 48-6. When consent of father not necessary. In the case of a child born out of wedlock and when said child has not been legitimated as provided by law, the written consent of the mother alone shall be sufficient under the Chapter and the putative father need not be made a party to the proceeding. 48-7. When consent of parents is necessary. (a) Except as provided in G. S. 48-5, and G. S. 48-6, and if they are living and have not released all rights to the child or consented to an adoption as provided in G. S. 48-9, the parents or surviving parent or guardian of the person of the child must be a party or parties of record to the proceeding and must give written consent to the adoption, which must be filed with the petition. (b) In any case where the parents or surviving parent or guardian of the person of the child whose adoption is sought are necessary parties and their address is known, or can by due and diligent search be ascertained, that fact must be made known to the court by proper allegation in the petition or by affidavit and service of process must be made upon such person as provided by law for service of process on residents of the State or by service of process on non-residents as provided in G. S. 1-104. (c) If the address of such person cannot be ascertained for the purpose of service of process or service of process cannot be made as hereinbefore provided, that fact must be made known to the court by proper allegation in the petition or by affidavit to the effect that after due and diligent search such person cannot be found for the purpose of service of process. Service of process upon such person may then be made by publication of summons as provided by G. S. Jan-98 et seq., and as provided by law. (d) When a step-parent petitions to adopt a step-child, consent to the adoption must be given by the spouse of the petitioner. 48-8. Capacity of parents to consent. A parent who has not reached the age of twenty-one years shall have legal capacity to give consent to an adoption and to release such parents rights in a child, and shall be as fully bound thereby as if said parent had attained twenty-one years of age. 48-9. When consent may be given by persons other than parents. (a) In the following instances written consent sufficient for the purposes of the adoption filed with the petition shall be sufficient to make the person giving consent a party tothe proceeding and no service of any process need be made upon such person. -1 When the parent, parents, or guardian of the person of the child, has in writing surrendered the child to a superintendent of public welfare of a county or to a licensed child-placing agency upon a standard form to be supplied by the State Board of Public Welfare and at the same time in writing has consented to an adoption of the child, the superintendent of public welfare or the executive head of such agency shall give consent to the adoption of the child by the petitioners. A county superintendent of public welfare may accept the surrender of a child who was born in the county or whose parent or parents have established residence in the county. -2 If the court finds as a fact that there is no person qualified to give legal consent as provided in this Section, or that one of them cannot do so because of mental incapacity, the court May appoint some suitable person or the county superintendent of public welfare of the county in which the child resides to act in the proceeding as next friend of the child to give or withhold such consent. (b) The surrender of the child and consent for the child to be adopted given by the parent or guardian of the person to the superintendent of public welfare or to the licensed childplacing agency shall be filed with the petition along with the consent of the superintendent of public welfare or of the executive head of the agency to the adoption prayed for in the petition. 48-10. When childs consent necessary. In any proceeding under this Article, a child who is twelve years of age or over or who becomes twelve years of age before the granting of the final order must also consent to the proposed adoption. 48-11. Consent not revocable. No consent described in G. S. 48-6, 48-7, or 48-9, shall be revocable by the consenting party after the entering of an interlocutory decree or a final order of adoption when the entering of an interlocutory decree has been waived in accordance with the provisions of G. S. 48-21. Any person who has consented to an adoption as herein provided shall be deemed to be a party to the adoption proceeding * and shall be bound thereby. 48-12. Nature of proceeding; venue. Adoption shall be by a special proceeding before the Clerk of the Superior Court. The petition may be filed in the county: -1 where the petitioners reside; or -2 where the child resides; or -3 where the child resided when it became a public charge; or -4 in which is located any child-placing agency or institution operating under the laws of this State and having custody of the child or to which the child shall have been surrendered as provided in G. S. 48-9. 48-13. Reference to parental status. No reference shall be made in any petition, interlocutory decree, or final order of adoption to the marital status of the natural parents of the child sought to be adopted, to their fitness for the care and custody of such child, or to their abandonment thereof, nor shall any reference be made to any child being born out of wedlock. A clerk of court must not receive and file any papers which violate the provisions of this Section. 48-14. Use of original name of child unnecessary; name used in proceedings for adoption. (a) Only in the report required by G. S. 48-16 on the investigation of the condition and antecedents of the child sought to be adopted shall the original name of the child given by the natural parent or parents be necessary. (b) In the petition, interlocutory decree, and final order of adoption and in all other papers related to the case the name selected by the petitioner or petitioners as the name for the child may be used as the TRUE and legal name and the original name shall not be necessary. 48-15.

(b) The court may order the superintendent of public welfare of one county to make an investigation of the condition and antecedents of the child and the superintendent of public welfare of another county or counties to make any other part of the necessary investigation. (c) The county superintendent or superintendents of public welfare or the authorized representative of such agency described hereinbefore must make a written report within 60 days of his or their findings, on a standard form or following an outline supplied by the State Board of Public Welfare, for the examination by the court of adoption. 48-17. Interlocutory decree of adoption. (a) Upon examination of the written report required in Section 48-16, the court may issue in triplicate an interlocutory decree of adoption giving the care and custody of the child to the petitioners. Such interlocutory decree must be issued within six months of the filing of the petition unless a final order is entered as provided in G. S. 48-21 (c). It may be issued on a standard form supplied by the State Board of Public Welfare or may be typewritten, giving all the information hereinafter required.

(b) When a husband and wife have petitioned jointly to adopt and an interlocutory decree has been entered, and the death of one spouse occurs before the time for the entering of the final order, the petition of the living petitioner shall not be invalidated by the fact of the death of the other petitioner, and the court may proceed to grant the adoption to the surviving petitioner. 48-19. Report on placement after interlocutory decree. When the court enters an interlocutory decree of adoption, it must order the county superintendent of public welfare or a licensed child-placing agency through its duly authorized representative to supervise the child in its adoptive home and report to the court on the placement in writing in accordance with an outline or form supplied by the State Board of Public Welfare, such report being for examination by the court before entering any final order. 48-20.

(d) Upon examination of the written report required under G. S. 48-16 the court may, in its discretion, shorten the probationary period between the granting of the interlocutory decree and the final order of adoption by the length of the time the child has resided in the home of the petitioners prior to the granting of the interlocutory decree; provided that the child was placed in the home of the petitioners by a superintendent of public welfare or by a licensed child-placing agency and such fact has been certified to the court by the superintendent of public welfare or the executive head of the child-placing agency, but no final order shall be entered until the child shall have resided in the home of the petitioners for a period of one year. 48-22.

S. 48-26, any information concerninig the contents of any other papers in the proceeding. 48-26. Procedure for opening record for necessary information. (a) Any necessary information in the files or the record of an adoption proceeding may be disclosed, to the party requiring it, upon a written motion in the cause before the clerk of original jurisdiction who may issue an order to open the record. Such order must be reviewed by a Judge of the Superior Court and if, in the opinion of said judge, it be to the best interest of the child or of the public to have such information disclosed, he may approve the order to open the record. (b) The original order to open the record must be filed with the proceeding in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court.

No adoption may be questioned by reason of any procedural or other defect by any one not injured by such defect, nor may any adoption proceeding be attacked either directly or collaterally by any person other than a natural parent or guardian of the person of the child. The failure on the part of the Clerk of the Superior Court, the county superintendent of public welfare, or the executive head of a licensed child-placing agency to perform any of the duties or acts within the time required by the provisions of this Act shall not affect the validity of any adoption proceeding. (b) The final order of adoption shall have the force and effect of, and shall be entitled to, all the presumptions attached to a judgment rendered by a court of general jurisdiction. 48-29. Report of change of name to registrar of vital statistics; entry on birth certificate.

No reference in the new birth certificate shall be made to the adoption nor shall the adopting parents be referred to as foster parents. (b) The State Registrar shall place the original certificate of birth and all papers in his possession relating to the adoption under seal which shall not be broken except upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Thereafter, when a certified copy of the certificate of birth of such person is issued, it shall be a copy of the new birth certificate, except when an order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall require the issuance of a copy of the original certificate of birth. (c) The State Registrar shall send a copy of the new birth certificate to the register of deeds of the county where the adoption proceedings were instituted. 48-30. Guardian appointed when custody granted of child with estate. When the court grants the petitioners custody of a child, if the child is an orphan and without guardian and possesses any estate to be administered, the court must appoint a guardian as provided by law. 48-31. Rights of adoptive parents. When a child is adopted pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter, the adoptive parents shall not thereafter be deprived of any rights in the child, at the instance of the natural parents or otherwise, except in the same manner and for the same causes as are applicable in proceedings to deprive natural parents of their children. 48-32. Procuring custody of child by forfeiting parents declared crime. Any parent whose rights and privileges have been forefeited as provided by G. S. 48-5 and who shall, otherwise than by legal process, procure the possession and custody of such child with respect to whom his rights and privileges have been forfeited shall be guilty of a crime, and shall be punished as for abduction. 48-33. Past adoption proceedings validated. All proceedings for the adoption of minors in courts of this State are hereby validated and confirmed, and the orders and judgments heretofore entered therein are declared to be binding upon all parties to said proceedings and their privies and all other persons, until such orders or judgments shall be vacated as provided by law; provided that this Section shall not apply to litigation pending on the effective date of this Act in which the validity of a prior adoption proceeding is involved. 48-34.

WHEREAS, the General Assembly of North Carolina at its 1947 Session considered, approved, ratified and intended to enact into law House Bill No. 65 entitled An Act to Rewrite Chapter 48 of the General Statutes Relating to Adoptions; and WHEREAS, the legislative procedure in respect to said Act was proper and complete except for the accidental omission of an enacting clause, as will appear by reference to the journals, minutes and other records of the General Assembly of 1947 and to the records of the Secretary of State; and WHEREAS, the clear and unmistakable intent and purpose of the Legislature that said Act should become law is evidenced by such records, and more specifically by reference to pages 1212 through 1224 of the North Carolina Session Laws of 1947, where said Act now appears as Chapter 885 of the Session Laws of 1947 in the identical form in which it was considered, ap-) proved, passed and ratified on April 4, 1947 by the General As- sembly of North Carolina; and WHEREAS, after the passage and ratification of said Act the omission of an enacting clause became apparent, and it was deemed advisable to submit the question of the effect of such omission to the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and WHEREAS, the Supreme Court in an advisory opinion handed down on the 9th day of June, 1947, in re: House Bill No. 65 designated as Chapter 885 of the Session Laws of 1947, held that such omission of an enacting clause was fatal to the validity of the Act; and WHEREAS, with the exception of this technical defect, the 1947 Act in all other respects was passed and ratified in due form, and represents the legislative intent and purpose of the General Assembly of 1947 as expressed in House Bill No. 65, which now appears as Chapter 885 of the North Carolina Ses- sion Laws of 1947:00:00 Now, therefore, in order to give full effect to such legislative intent and purpose by incorporating the provisions of House Bill No. 65 and Chapter 885 of the Session Laws of 1947, with clarifying amendments, into the General Statutes of North Carolina, aie zs The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Sec. 1 Chapter 48 of the General Statutes of North Carolina is hereby rewritten, so as to conform, as herein set out, to the provisions of H. B. 65 as approved, passed, and ratified on April 4, 1947 by the General Assembly of North Carolina, session of 1947, so that said Chapter 48 of the General Statutes of North Carolina as hereby rewritten shall read as follows: 48-1. Legislative intent: construction of chapter. The General Assembly hereby declares as a matter of legislative policy with respect to adoption that -1 The primary purpose of this Chapter is to protect children from unnecessary separation from parents who might give them good homes and loving care, to protect them from adoption by persons unfit to have the responsibility of their care and rearing, and to protect them from interference, long after they have become properly adjusted in their adoptive homes, by natural parents who may have some legal claim because of a defect in the adoption procedure. -2 The secondary purposes of this Chapter is to protect the natural parents from hurried decisions, made under strain and anxiety, to give up a child, and to protect foster parents from assuming responsibility for a child about whose heredity or mental or physical condition they know nothing, and to prevent later disturbance of their relationship to the child by natural parents whose legal rights have not been fully protected. -3 When the interests of a child and those of an adult are in conflict, such conflict should be resolved in favor of the child; and to that end this Chapter should be liberally construed. 48-2. Definitions. In this Chapter, unless the context or subject matter otherwise requires -1 Adult person means any person who has attained the age of twenty-one years. -2 Licensed child-placing agency means any agency operating under a license to place children for adoption issued by the State Board of Public Welfare, or in the event that such agency is in another state or territory or in the District of Columbia, operating under a license to place children for adoption issued by a governmental authority of such state, territory, or the District of Columbia, empowered by law to issue such licenses. -3 For the purpose of this Chapter, an abandoned child shall be any child under the age of eighteen years who has been willfully abandoned at least six consecutive months immediately preceding institution of an action or proceeding to declare the child to be an abandoned child. -4 Readoption means an adoption by any person of a child who has been previously legally adopted. 48-3. Who may be adopted. Any minor child, irrespective of place of birth or place of residence, may be adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Act. 48-4. Who may adopt children. (a) Any person over twentyone years of age may petition in a special proceeding in the Superior Court to adopt a minor child and may also petition for a change of the name of such child. If the petitioner has a husband or wife living, competent to join in the petition, such spouse shall join in the petition. (b) Provided, however, that if the spouse of the petitioner is a natural parent of the child to be adopted, such spouse need not join in the petition but need only to give consent as provided in G. S. 48-7. (d). (c) Provided further, that the petitioner or petitioners shall have resided in North Carolina, or on Federal territory within the boundaries of North Carolina, for one year next preceding the filing of the petition. 48-5, Parents, etc., not necessary parties to adoption proceedings upon finding of abandonment. (a) In all cases where a court of competent jurisdiction has declared a child to be an abandoned child, the parent, parents, or guardian of the person, declared guilty of such abandonment shall not be necessary parties to any proceeding under this Chapter nor shall their consent be required. (b) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction has not heretofore declared the child to be an abandoned child, then on written notice of not less than ten days to the parent, parents, or guardian of the person, the court in the adoption proceeding is hereby authorized to determine whether an abandonment has taken place. (c) If the parent, parents, or guardian of the person deny that an abandonment has taken place, this issue of fact shall be determined as provided in G. S. 1-273, and if abandonment is determined, then the consent of the parent, parents, or guardian of the person shall not be required. Upon final determination of this issue of fact the proceeding shall be transferred back to the special proceedings docket for further action by the clerk. (d) A copy of the order of the court declaring a child abandoned must be filed in the proceeding with the petition in which case consent must be given or withheld in accordance with G. S. 48-9, Subsection (2). 48-6. When consent of father not necessary. In the case of a child born out of wedlock and when said child has not been legitimated prior to the time of the signing of the consent, the written consent of the mother alone shall be sufficient under this Chapter and the father need not be made a party to the proceeding. 48-7, When consent of parents is necessary.
