Sponsored Bills (45)
DPS/Other Changes
This bill makes several changes to North Carolina Department of Public Safety operations, including granting signature authority for a 50-year airport land lease, allowing donation of emergency management vehicles to local governments and disaster survivors, modifying victim compensation amounts and eligibility rules, authorizing tribal police chiefs to enter mutual aid agreements with other law enforcement agencies, and changing the Adjutant General confirmation process.
Record Development Approval Votes/Brunswick
This bill requires the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners to make all final decisions on development approvals and mandates that official meeting records show how each commissioner voted on every development approval. The bill repeals a prior 2019 law and overrides certain state development approval procedures for Brunswick County only.
ABC Omnibus of 2026
This comprehensive bill makes numerous changes to North Carolina's alcoholic beverage laws. Major provisions include authorizing the ABC Commission to obtain a $310 million loan for a new automated warehouse, creating new permit types (service business permit and auction house permit), allowing wine tastings at off-premises locations, expanding where mixed beverage permittees can purchase liquor, and making technical corrections to existing regulations. The bill also makes changes to state government structure and raffle laws.
Improve IVC Process and Enhance Public Safety
This bill makes multiple changes to North Carolina's involuntary commitment (IVC) process and mental health procedures. It directs various state agencies to study and develop plans for improving how people in mental health crises are evaluated, treated, and moved through the justice and mental health systems. It also creates new capacity restoration programs for defendants found mentally unable to stand trial and modifies procedures for outpatient commitment orders.
Worker Safety Act of 2026
This bill clarifies the process for filing complaints about workplace retaliation under North Carolina's worker protection laws. It specifies what information complaints must contain, allows employers to submit response statements within seven days, requires extra materials submitted with complaints to be destroyed and kept confidential, and establishes how time periods are calculated in these cases.
Prohibit Litigation Invest/Amend WC Benefits
This bill has two main parts: it prohibits litigation investments (third-party funding of lawsuits in exchange for a share of any settlement or judgment) in North Carolina civil cases, and it increases workers' compensation benefit amounts for certain injuries, including raising maximum awards for facial disfigurement from $20,000 to $40,000 and other injury categories from $10,000-$20,000 to $20,000-$40,000.
Family Support for Those Who Serve Act
This bill expands tuition waivers at North Carolina community colleges to include children (ages 17-24) of law enforcement officers, experienced correctional officers (10+ years), and firefighters. Students would attend community college tuition-free while still meeting admission standards and other college requirements, with the waiver covering the duration of their educational program.
Mike Clampitt 1st Responder Tax Fairness Act
This bill expands the highway use tax exemption for volunteer fire departments and rescue squads that are not part of local government and have no more than two paid employees. The exemption now applies to fire trucks, pump trucks, tanker trucks, ladder trucks, four-wheel drive forest fire fighting vehicles, and emergency services vehicles.
Persistent D.V. Offender Registry
This bill creates a registry of people convicted of domestic violence offenses in North Carolina. People convicted of a domestic violence offense who have at least one prior domestic violence conviction must register, with registration periods of 2-10 years depending on the number of prior convictions. The State Bureau of Investigation will maintain a public online registry containing offenders' names, birth dates, conviction dates, county, and photographs.
Cosponsored Bills (64)
Strengthen Medicaid Provider Controls
This bill strengthens oversight of Medicaid providers in North Carolina by establishing a Provider Enrollment Credentialing Committee to review provider applications and eligibility, expanding grounds for denying or terminating provider enrollment based on criminal convictions and licensing actions, and requiring providers to report criminal convictions of their employees. The bill also makes changes to prepaid health plan networks and Medicaid eligibility.
Parking Lot Reform/Stormwater Control
This bill restricts local governments' authority to regulate off-street parking by prohibiting minimum parking space requirements and limiting parking space size standards. It also modifies stormwater control requirements so that property owners redeveloping existing sites only need to manage stormwater from new impervious surfaces, not from areas that existed before redevelopment.
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.
Equality in State Agencies/Prohibition on DEI
This bill prohibits North Carolina state agencies and local governments from spending money on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, policies, or staff positions. It defines DEI as initiatives that influence hiring or employment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, nationality, country of origin, or sexual orientation outside of merit-based processes, and establishes penalties for violations including fines up to $10,000 and potential removal from employment.
US Department of Edu
This joint resolution urges the U.S. Congress to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and return education authority to individual states. The resolution argues that education is not a federal responsibility under the Constitution and that states are better positioned to manage education policy for their communities.
Remote Instruction for Excess Emergencies
This bill allows North Carolina public schools to use up to three additional days of remote instruction (or 15 hours) when they experience a second emergency after exhausting their initial remote instruction allowance. Schools must report to the State Board about any additional remote instruction days used and the emergency circumstances that required them. The bill appropriates $5,000 to the Department of Public Instruction for administrative costs.
Elect SBE/Superintendent as SBE Chair
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how the State Board of Education is structured and led. Instead of being appointed by the Governor, most board members would be elected by voters in districts for four-year terms, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction would serve as the board's chair. Voters would decide on this amendment in November 2026, with changes taking effect in 2028.
Expand the FarmSHARE Food Hub Program
This bill appropriates $4 million to expand the FarmSHARE Food Hub Program, which purchases locally grown food and distributes it free to food-insecure North Carolinians, and $2 million to expand the Double Up Food Bucks Program, which provides matching funds to help nutrition assistance recipients afford fresh produce at farmers markets and food hubs. Both programs require annual reporting on participation, distribution, and outcomes.
Child Care Initiative Funds/Reform/Study
This bill establishes free training academies to help people become child care lead teachers, provides $15 million for mental and behavioral health services in child care settings, allows child care centers to share administrative credentials between two staff members, funds a study on liability insurance for child care providers, and updates bidding requirements for Smart Start contracts.
