What changed in the latest version
202 added · 360 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of House Bill 935 adds funding for 11 new staff positions aimed at enhancing supervision and support for child welfare services in North Carolina. Additionally, the amendment clarifies the conditions under which employment offers can be made to applicants for certain positions, particularly concerning criminal history checks.
