Overview: Section 9G.8 of S.L. 2022-7 amends the statute (G.S. 130A-145) governing the State Health Director's quarantine authority to clarify that quarantine orders can be issued only for 7 days if the quarantine order applies statewide and only for 30 days if the order is less than statewide. The statute is also amended to give local health directors the same authority.

This section becomes effective January 1, 2023, and will apply to quarantine orders issued on or after that date.
