Pay Exceptions/Special Separation Allowance

This bill modifies the Special Separation Allowance program for North Carolina state and local law enforcement officers by clarifying eligibility rules for disability-related service breaks and adjusting reemployment restrictions. Specifically, it allows officers who take disability leave to maintain eligibility if they return to service within 45 days, and it permits retired officers to return to certain state positions without losing their separation allowance benefits.

GSC Technical Corrections 2026

This bill makes technical corrections to North Carolina state law by repealing obsolete language from past executive branch reorganizations (particularly from 1971 and 1973), reorganizing where certain statutes are located in the General Statutes, and making various other minor changes to improve clarity and accuracy in state law. The bill does not change the actual functions or powers of state agencies, but cleans up outdated references and reorganizes legal code.

GSC Advance Health Care Planning Documents

This bill modifies North Carolina's laws regarding three types of advance health care planning documents: health care powers of attorney, living wills (advance directives), and advance instructions for mental health treatment. The main changes simplify how these documents are executed, allow them to be combined into single documents, and update who can make health care decisions on behalf of patients who lack capacity and have no advance directives in place.

Cape Fear IBT Moratorium/EMC IBT Reductions

PFAS Pollution and Polluter Liability

This bill allows North Carolina's Secretary of Environmental Quality to order PFAS manufacturers whose pollution has contaminated public drinking water systems to pay for the costs of removing or treating that contamination.

Increased Access for Youth in Foster Families

This bill creates a new Guardianship Assistance Program (KinGAP) in North Carolina that provides financial support to children who leave foster care and are placed with relative or non-relative legal guardians. The program lowers the minimum age of eligibility from 14 to 10 years old and allows youth to continue receiving assistance until age 21 if they are pursuing education, employment, or have a qualifying disability.

Equality in State Agencies/Prohibition on DEI

This bill prohibits North Carolina state agencies and local governments from spending money on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, policies, or staff positions. It defines DEI as initiatives that influence hiring or employment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, nationality, country of origin, or sexual orientation outside of merit-based processes, and establishes penalties for violations including fines up to $10,000 and potential removal from employment.

Make E-Verify Great Again

This bill requires state and local government employers to use the federal E-Verify system to confirm employee work authorization. It creates a 30-day cure period for first-time violations, allows the Department of Labor to conduct random compliance checks, increases civil penalties for repeated violations, and protects employees who report E-Verify violations from retaliation.

H1030Introduced

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.

House2026-06-02

H1089Passed

Const. Amend. Property Tax Levy Limit

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would require the North Carolina General Assembly to pass laws limiting how much local governments (counties, cities, towns, and special districts) can increase their property tax levies each year. The amendment would be submitted to North Carolina voters in the November 2026 general election, and if approved by a majority of voters, would become part of the state constitution.

House2026-04-27

H118Introduced

Disabled Veterans Tax Relief Bill

This bill increases the property tax homestead exclusion for disabled veterans in North Carolina from $45,000 to $61,000 of appraised home value, meaning more of their home's value is not taxed. The state will reimburse local governments for half of the tax revenue they lose from this increase.

House2025-09-23

H402Passed

Limit Rules With Substantial Financial Costs

This bill requires state agencies to obtain legislative approval before implementing rules that cost $20 million or more over five years, and requires higher voting thresholds (two-thirds for $1+ million costs, unanimous for $10+ million costs) when agency boards or commissions adopt costly rules. It also allows the public to request legislative review of rules if 10 or more people object within one day of Commission approval.
