S1009Introduced

Repeal Hardened Structure Ban

This bill repeals North Carolina's ban on hardened erosion control structures (like seawalls and jetties) and instead allows them with state regulation to prevent significant harm to private property or public beaches. It also appropriates $850,000 to update the state's Beach and Inlet Management Plan.

S394Engrossed

Prohibit Foreign Ownership of NC Land

This bill prohibits entities from adversarial foreign governments (as defined by federal arms regulations) from purchasing, leasing, or holding agricultural land or property within 50 miles of North Carolina military installations. Entities that owned such land before the law takes effect must register with the Secretary of State and cannot buy additional land. Those acquiring such land after the effective date must divest within one year, or face civil penalties and forced sale through court receivership.

S1008Introduced

Pilot for Shoreline Stabilization Projects

This bill creates a pilot program allowing North Carolina to test shoreline stabilization structures like sheet pile walls in limited locations where oceanfront homes face imminent erosion danger. The University of North Carolina Collaboratory will select a small number of pilot projects based on erosion severity, scientific value, and economic impact, with all construction costs and permits funded by local governments or homeowners associations, not the state.

S474Passed

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.

Senate2026-07-08
S558Passed

Eliminating "DEI" in Public Higher Ed

This bill prohibits North Carolina public universities and community colleges from maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices or programs, requiring employees to affirm certain concepts, or endorsing what the bill defines as 'divisive concepts' related to race and sex. It requires institutions to certify annual compliance and allows instruction on these topics only if the institution makes clear it does not endorse them.
