Various Civil and Insurance Law Changes

This bill makes multiple changes to North Carolina's insurance and civil laws, including updating peer-to-peer vehicle sharing regulations, allowing small cash convenience fees for insurance payments, prohibiting mortgage lenders from requiring reconstruction cost estimates, modifying bail bondsmen requirements, and establishing arbitration procedures for uninsured/underinsured motorist claims.

Affordable Housing Exemption Mods

This bill updates North Carolina's property tax exemptions for affordable housing by creating a new separate exemption for rental housing owned by nonprofits and modifying the existing exemption for owner-occupied affordable housing. It establishes specific eligibility requirements based on whether the rental housing receives government funding, sets income and rent limits for tenants, and requires annual compliance reporting.

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.

Expedited Removal of Unauthorized Persons

This bill creates a fast-track legal process allowing property owners to remove people occupying their residential property without a valid lease or payment, with hearings held within 48 hours and removal ordered within 4 hours. The bill also prevents local governments from restricting pet shop operations beyond state regulations.

NC Farmland and Military Protection Act

This bill prohibits entities controlled by adversarial foreign governments from purchasing, leasing, or holding agricultural land or property within 50 miles of North Carolina military installations. It requires existing foreign owners to register with the Secretary of State, allows the Attorney General to enforce violations through forced sales, and establishes penalties for non-compliance.
