North Carolina H862 mandates electronic recording of district court proceedings and annual reporting on impaired driving case resolutions.

North Carolina H862 requires video recording of district court proceedings where a defendant pleads guilty or no contest to a felony. It mandates that clerks of superior court include specific information in electronic records for impaired driving cases, such as reasons for pretrial dismissals and alcohol concentration. The Administrative Office of the Courts must publish an annual report detailing the resolution of impaired driving cases, including charges, dispositions, and sentencing factors. The bill also requires the preservation of these recordings and their availability online.
