North Carolina H967 clarifies that voting places are included in the definition of public buildings for disorderly conduct offenses.

North Carolina H967 amends the definition of "public building or facility" to include voting places for purposes of the crime of disorderly conduct.

The bill also specifies that it is a Class 3 misdemeanor to unlawfully remove or deface political advertising placed in designated areas near voting places. This act becomes effective October 1, 2025.
