Limit Use of AI Medicaid/Commercial Insurance

This bill prohibits the use of artificial intelligence as the sole basis for denying insurance coverage decisions and claims in North Carolina's Medicaid and commercial insurance programs. It also bars healthcare providers and AI developers from using AI systems designed to promote 'upcoding' (billing for higher-level services than actually provided), and requires healthcare providers to annually attest their compliance with these restrictions.

At-Large Elections/Jacksonville City Council

This bill changes how Jacksonville City Council members are elected by requiring all council seats to be elected at-large (by all city voters) instead of the current mixed system where four council members are elected from specific wards and two are elected at-large. The change would take effect after the 2027 elections.

NC Digital Asset and Stablecoin Act

This bill creates two new regulatory frameworks for North Carolina: the Digital Asset Financial Act, which allows state banks and credit unions to provide cryptocurrency custody, staking, and transaction services for customers, and the North Carolina Stablecoin Act, which creates a licensing system for companies that want to issue stablecoins (digital assets designed to maintain a fixed value, typically pegged to the U.S. dollar). Both frameworks include detailed requirements for customer protection, reserve management, and regulatory oversight.

US Department of Edu

This joint resolution urges the U.S. Congress to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and return education authority to individual states. The resolution argues that education is not a federal responsibility under the Constitution and that states are better positioned to manage education policy for their communities.
