The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 148-33.1, subsection (b), as the same appears in the 1961 Cumulative Supplement to Replacement Volume 3B of the General Statutes, is amended by striking out the words "not exceeding five years" after the word "imprisonment" and before the word "Provided" in line three.

Sec. 2.  G.S. 148-33.1, subsection (f), is amended by rewriting the second sentence to read as follows:

"After deducting from the earnings of each prisoner an amount determined to be the cost of the prison's keep, the Prison Department shall (1) allow the prisoner to draw from the balance a sufficient sum to cover his incidental expenses, (2) retain to his credit such amount as seems necessary to accumulate a reasonable sum to be paid to him on his release from prison, (3) cause to be paid through the county department of public welfare such part of any additional balance as is needed for the support of the prisoner's dependents."

Sec. 3.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 4.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 21st day of May, 1963.
