S1041Passed

Public Workforce Modernization Act

This bill replaces North Carolina's current human resources system (Chapter 126) with a new modernized system (Chapter 126A) that applies to state employees in the executive branch, judicial branch, and legislative branch. The new system aims to simplify hiring, compensation, and personnel management by decentralizing some authority to individual agencies while maintaining standards for employee protections, leave benefits, and nondiscrimination policies.

S992Engrossed

Truth in Taxation

This bill requires local governments to follow specific notification and public hearing procedures before adopting a property tax rate that exceeds the 'revenue-neutral rate' (the rate that would generate the same total revenue as the previous year despite property reappraisals) during reappraisal years. The bill also increases the late reinstatement fee for real estate appraiser trainees and clarifies that tax refunds can be issued when governments fail to follow these procedures.

S801Engrossed

Address Confidentiality/Study & DL

This bill creates a task force to study how to protect military personnel, special operations forces, elected officials, and others from doxing and swatting by removing or shielding their personal information from public records. It also immediately allows special operations force members to obtain driver's licenses and identification cards with substitute addresses instead of their home addresses.

S889Passed

Property Tax Reappraisal Moratorium

This bill delays the use of new property values from 2026 reappraisals in counties with populations over 15,000 for the 2026-2027 tax year, requiring them to use the previous schedule of values instead. Starting in 2027-2028, counties will use the 2026 reappraisal values going forward. The bill also requires county assessors to pay a $20 examination fee to the Department of Revenue.

NC Right to Work Amendment

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would protect workers' rights to employment without being required to join or pay dues to labor unions.

Senate2026-05-20

Constitutional Right to Farm

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would add a new section to the North Carolina Constitution explicitly protecting the right of people to engage in farming and forestry activities, including crop cultivation, livestock raising, dairy and apiary production, and timber harvesting. The amendment would be subject to voter approval in the November 2026 general election.
