For the purposes of G.S. 115C-366 and 115C-366.1 for any person who is a resident 7
of a place which is not the person's place of domicile, because: (i) of the residence of a 8
parent, guardian, or legal custodian who is a student, employee or faculty member, of a 9
college or university, or a visiting scholar at the National Humanities Center; or (ii) the 10
child is placed in or assigned to a group home, foster home, or other similar facility or 11
institution, other than a child covered by G.S. 115C-140.1(a); or (iii) the child resides 12
with a legal custodian who is not the child's parent or guardian, or (iv) the child resides 13
in a pre-adoptive home following placement by a county department of social services 14
or a licensed child-placing agency, those sections shall be applied by substituting the 15
word "residing" for the word "domiciled," by substituting the word "residence" for the 16
word "domicile," and by substituting the word "residents" for the word "domiciliaries." 17
For purposes of this section, "legal custodian" means the person or agency that has been 18
awarded legal custody of the child by a court. 19
This section shall not be construed to affect the ability of any person to acquire a 20
new domicile." 21
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law. 22
