IDD Omnibus

This comprehensive bill implements changes to support North Carolinians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across multiple areas: it provides $183 million to increase direct care worker wages to at least $18/hour, adds 1,000 waiver slots and develops a 10-year plan to address service needs, updates Medicaid eligibility rules for workers with disabilities, studies new employment and community activity services, establishes rental assistance for housing, funds vocational rehabilitation services, restricts prone restraints in schools, and increases funding for special education and accessible transportation.

North Carolina Transportation Safety Act

This bill increases law enforcement staffing in Mecklenburg County, increases penalties for traffic safety violations (school bus stops, move-over law, street takeovers), restricts public access to highway camera recordings, expands 24-hour operation of a Charlotte traffic management center, creates new criminal offenses for reckless boating deaths/injuries, and increases penalties for assaults on public transit operators.

Additional Funding for School Supplies

This bill appropriates $28.6 million in state funding for the 2026-2027 school year to increase classroom materials and instructional supplies for North Carolina public schools. It also expresses the General Assembly's intent to provide additional funding of $15.1 million in 2027-2028 and $22.6 million in 2028-2029, though these future amounts require separate appropriation.

Authorize Municipal Deannexation

This bill creates a new regulatory framework for nonconsensual booting and towing of vehicles on private property in North Carolina. It establishes the Towing and Recovery Commission to issue permits, set maximum fees, maintain a public database of towed vehicles, and enforce requirements for signage, vehicle storage limits, and payment methods.
