DAC Exemption from State Device Content Ban.

SB 723 exempts employees of North Carolina's Department of Adult Correction (DAC) from the state's ban on viewing pornography on government devices when conducting specific investigations. The bill adds a new exemption (point 8) to existing law, allowing DAC staff to view such content while investigating matters involving incarcerated offenders or misuse of DAC-owned devices. This change directly affects DAC employees performing correctional investigations, ensuring they can access necessary information without violating the device content ban. The provision applies to all investigations conducted before, on, or after the law takes effect. The bill does not alter the general ban on pornography viewing but clarifies an operational exception for correctional work.
