2026 Senate & House Appointments

Adjournment Resolution

Appt. Floyd McKissick NC Utilities

This resolution confirms Floyd McKissick's appointment to the North Carolina Utilities Commission, a position required by law to be approved by the General Assembly. McKissick will serve the remainder of Charlotte Mitchell's term, which expires June 30, 2029.

Adjust Counties/Reappraisal Moratorium

This bill adjusts which counties must delay using updated property values from 2026 reappraisals for tax purposes. For the 2026-2027 tax year, affected counties must use older property values instead of the new ones. The bill also prevents public service company property values from decreasing in these counties during the moratorium period.

North Carolina Border Protection Act

This bill requires North Carolina state law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, restricts state-funded benefits and housing assistance to legally authorized residents, verifies immigration status for unemployment benefits, removes liability protections for local governments that adopt sanctuary policies, and prohibits UNC universities from limiting immigration law enforcement on campus.

Eliminating "DEI" in Public Education

This bill prohibits North Carolina public schools from teaching, promoting, or requiring professional development related to what it defines as "divisive concepts" — including ideas that individuals should feel guilt based on race or sex, that meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist, or that character traits should be ascribed to people based on race or sex. Schools must certify annual compliance and cannot maintain offices or employ staff whose primary duties involve promoting these concepts or discriminatory practices.
