At-Large Elections/Jacksonville City Council
This bill changes how Jacksonville City Council members are elected by requiring all council seats to be elected at-large (by all city voters) instead of the current mixed system where four council members are elected from specific wards and two are elected at-large. The change would take effect after the 2027 elections.
Limit Medicaid Reimb. for Facility Fees
This bill directs North Carolina's Medicaid program to stop reimbursing facility fees charged by hospitals and health care providers, except when services are provided on a hospital's main campus, at facilities with emergency departments, or at ambulatory surgical centers. The bill defines key terms like facility fees, campus boundaries, and related facilities, and includes a sunset provision allowing the changes to expire after June 30, 2027, unless the state chooses to continue them.
2025 Omnibus Labor Amendments.-AB
This omnibus bill makes multiple amendments to North Carolina labor laws, including limiting when Department of Labor employees can be subpoenaed in occupational safety cases, streamlining OSHA rule adoption, allowing prehearing discovery in labor commission proceedings, improving fatal injury reporting between medical examiners and the Labor Department, and renaming the Elevator and Amusement Device Division to a Bureau with updated language throughout relevant statutes.
Social Media Control in IT Act
This bill requires social media platforms with over 1 million U.S. users to protect North Carolina users' data privacy and prohibits using minors' personal information in algorithmic recommendation systems. The bill sets default privacy protections for minors, requires clear data disclosures, allows users to control how their data is used, and creates a state task force to monitor compliance. Violations become enforceable as unfair business practices starting January 1, 2027.
AEDs and CPR in Public Schools
This bill requires all North Carolina public schools to install at least one automatic external defibrillator (AED) in each school building, primarily in athletic facilities, and mandates training for school personnel on how to use AEDs and perform CPR. The State Board of Education will develop rules for installation, maintenance, and training, with all types of public schools (traditional public, charter, regional, and university-run) required to comply by the 2025-2026 school year.
Abuse and Deception by Telemarketers
This bill prohibits North Carolina telemarketers from displaying fake, misleading, or misrepresented phone numbers on caller identification systems. It requires telemarketers to show their actual phone number or the legitimate business entity they represent, establishes record-keeping requirements for telemarketing calls, and creates civil penalties for violations ranging from $500 to $10,000 per call.
Permit/Provisional License Modifications
This bill removes the requirement for a Driving Eligibility Certificate and driving log documentation for obtaining learner's permits and provisional licenses in North Carolina. It allows online applications for full provisional licenses, temporarily reduces the time needed to hold a learner's permit from nine to six months, extends the deadline for new residents to obtain a North Carolina license from 60 days to six months, and directs the Division of Motor Vehicles to improve efficiency for license applicants.
Jacksonville/ETJ Prohibited
This bill prevents the City of Jacksonville from exercising planning and development authority in its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ)—the area just outside city limits where cities normally have some regulatory power. The city would only have planning authority within its actual city boundaries, though existing development regulations would remain in effect temporarily under state law.
Funds for ECU Engineering
This bill appropriates $25 million in one-time funding and $4 million per year for two years to East Carolina University's College of Engineering and Technology. The one-time funds support building improvements and equipment purchases, while the recurring funds support expanding faculty and staff positions.
Cosponsored Bills (24)
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.
UNC Omnibus & Capital Contracting Law Changes
This bill authorizes approximately $636.9 million in capital improvement projects across UNC campuses funded through bonds and non-appropriated sources, standardizes residency requirements for the NC School of Science and Mathematics, expands tuition grants for NCSSM and UNCSA graduates, increases the UNC Board of Governors' authority over capital projects up to $4 million, raises various construction project thresholds, and restricts state agencies from using appropriated funds for public-private partnerships without legislative approval.
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.
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.
Funds for Veterans/HBOT
This bill appropriates $3 million in state funds for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to provide free hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment to North Carolina veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The funds will be directed to a nonprofit organization called HBOT 4 HEROES to deliver approximately 15,000 treatments to roughly 350 veterans, with progress reported back to the legislature by June 30, 2027.
Disabled Veterans Tax Relief Bill
This bill increases the property tax homestead exclusion for disabled veterans in North Carolina from $45,000 to $61,000 of appraised home value, meaning more of their home's value is not taxed. The state will reimburse local governments for half of the tax revenue they lose from this increase.
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.
Fostering Care in NC Act
This comprehensive bill makes several changes to North Carolina's child welfare and social services systems. Key provisions expand the Guardianship Assistance Program to include youth as young as 10 years old, establish procedures for judges to issue permanent no-contact orders against defendants convicted of violent offenses, make it a felony when caregivers commit or allow sexual acts against children under 16, and require cities and counties to conduct criminal history background checks for any applicant offered a position working with children.
Gambling Loss Tax Deduct, NC Sound Money Act
This bill has two main parts: it allows North Carolina taxpayers to deduct gambling losses from their state income taxes (similar to federal tax law), and it establishes that investment coins and bullion made of gold or silver can be recognized as legal tender in North Carolina, though businesses are not required to accept them.
