HR 777 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Expressing French Friendship.

This resolution (HR 777) expresses the North Carolina House of Representatives' support for the longstanding friendship and economic ties between North Carolina and France. It highlights historical connections (like French Huguenot settlements and General Lafayette's role), notes France as a major investor in NC ($429M since 2013) and employer (15,500 jobs), and urges closer U.S.-France trade cooperation. The resolution is purely symbolic, with no new policies or funding, and serves to affirm existing bilateral relations through ceremonial recognition.

MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from a House Simple Resolution (DRHR10367-LG-141A) to House Resolution 777, with updated sponsor information and a revised title. The substantive content of the resolution remains largely the same, though the order of the 'Whereas' clauses was slightly rearranged. These changes appear to be primarily administrative and formatting updates rather than substantive policy modifications.

TECHNICAL

Bill title changed from 'House Simple Resolution DRHR10367-LG-141A' to 'House Resolution 777' with updated version identifier.

The order of the first two 'Whereas' clauses was swapped, placing the trade statistics clause before the French immigrant population clause.
