NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1971 SESSION

CHAPTER 848
HOUSE BILL 1175

AN ACT TO AMEND G.S. 20-187.1 PERTAINING TO AWARDS TO MEMBERS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE HIGHWAY PATROL.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1. G.S. 20-187. 1(b) is rewritten to read as follows:
"(b)	The award to be granted under the provisions of this section shall be the North Carolina State Highway Patrol Award of Honor. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol Award of Honor is awarded in the name of the people of North Carolina and by the Governor to a person who, while a member of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, distinguishes himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of personal safety and beyond the call of duty while engaged in the preservation of life and property. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery and self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his colleagues and must have involved risk of life. Proof of the performance of the service will be required and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 13th day of July, 1971.
