property and that is the subject of a legal agreement between the private party
and the State or a political subdivision of the State governing the removal or
relocation of the object."

Thats listed as an exception to the law, so the law doesn't apply in that circumstance. Here's the full section::

(c) Exceptions. – This section does not apply to the following:
(1) Highway markers set up by the Board of Transportation in cooperation with
the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Natural and
Cultural Resources as provided by Chapter 197 of the Public Laws of 1935.
NC General Statutes - Chapter 100 2
(2) An object of remembrance owned by a private party that is located on public
property and that is the subject of a legal agreement between the private party
and the State or a political subdivision of the State governing the removal or
relocation of the object.
(3) An object of remembrance for which a building inspector or similar official
has determined poses a threat to public safety because of an unsafe or
dangerous condition. (2015-170, s. 3(c); 2015-241, s. 14.30(c).)

Ah, well in the interest of keeping politics out of the thread as much as possible, I won't speculate on that, but you can google for some news articles in May, June, July 2015 (when it was passed) for some context.
