Section 1.  G.S. 108-42(c) is hereby amended by rewriting it so that it shall read as follows:

"§ 108-42(c).  The board of county commissioners may review any grant approved by the county board of social services. The recipient of a disputed grant shall receive notice of the time and place of such review. If the board of commissioners deems that a grant was improperly allowed under the policies of the State Board of Social Services, it may order that proper action be taken, with notice thereof given to the recipient and a copy to the county board of social services and the Commissioner of Social Services. Any modification made by the board of county commissioners shall be subject to review by the Commissioner of Social Services."

Sec. 2.  G.S. 108-43 is hereby amended by changing the reference in line 7 thereof from "Board" to "Department" so that G.S. 108-43 shall read as follows:

"§ 108-43.  Reconsideration of grants. — All grants of public assistance shall be considered as frequently as required by the rules of the State Board. Whenever the condition of any recipient has changed to the extent that his award must be modified or terminated, the county director may make the appropriate termination or change in payment and submit it to the county board of social services for approval at its next meeting. Prompt notice of all changes shall be given to the recipient, to the State Department of Social Services, and to the board of county commissioners."

Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.
