N.C. Gen. Stat. § 132-1.13: Electronic lists of subscribers open for inspection but not available for copying.

(a) Notwithstanding this chapter, when a unit of local government maintains an email list of individual subscribers, this chapter does not require that unit of local government to provide a copy of the list. The list shall be available for public inspection in either printed or electronic format or both as the unit of local government elects.

(b) If a unit of local government maintains an email list of individual subscribers, the unit of local government and its employees and officers may use that list only: (i) for the purpose for which it was subscribed to; (ii) to notify subscribers of an emergency to the public health or public safety; or (iii) in case of deletion of that list, to notify subscribers of the existence of any similar lists to subscribe to.

(c) Repealed by Session Laws 2011-54, s. 1, effective April 28, 2011. (2010-83, ss. 1-3; 2011-54, s. 1; 2025-25, s. 29(1).)
