Section 1.  G.S. 20-7.2(b) is amended by rewriting same to read as follows:

"(b)      If the offense does not require a revocation of one's license under this Chapter, a party may comply with this section by either paying the costs of court as specified in G.S. 7A-304 and the fine set by the Conference of District Court Judges in person, or by mail to the Clerk of Superior Court. If the offense does require a revocation of one's license under this Chapter, the party must appear to answer the charge and comply with any order entered by the court. The order shall require the payment of court costs. This subsection does not authorize a judge to set aside a conviction for a 90-day failure unless the order to set aside the conviction complies with G.S. 20-24(c)."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective October 1, 1985, and shall apply to failures to appear occurring on or after that date.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 17th day of May, 1985.
