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.

Lower Healthcare Costs

This bill aims to lower healthcare costs and increase price transparency in North Carolina through multiple measures: requiring hospitals and surgical facilities to publicly report pricing information on common procedures, mandating clear billing disclosures to patients about out-of-network providers, establishing good-faith cost estimates for scheduled procedures, limiting facility fees charged by hospitals, and strengthening prior authorization and appeals processes for health insurance.

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.

It prohibits discrimination based on political affiliation in state disaster recovery assistance, increases penalties for theft of temporary housing during emergencies, automatically adopts certain federal health care waivers during emergencies, provides building code exemptions for Hurricane Helene-damaged downtown commercial structures, allows temporary reconstruction flexibility in flooded areas, and streamlines permits for processing hurricane debris into mulch and compost.
