    Enacts new GS 15A-153 to prohibit any employer, educational institution, or any agency, official, or employee of the state or local government, from requiring, in any application, interview, or otherwise, an applicant to disclose information concerning any arrest or criminal charge against the applicant that has been expunged. Provides that an applicant does not need to include a reference to or information about arrests or charges that have been expunged in response to any question concerning an arrest or criminal charge that did not result in a conviction. Provides that an application for a license, permit, registration, or governmental service will not be denied solely because the applicant refuses or fails to disclose information concerning any expunction. Makes each willful violation of the statute a separate Class 1 misdemeanor. Effective December 1, 2011, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
