SB 903 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Public Employees Deserve A Voice Act.

This bill repeals a North Carolina law that currently bans public employees from collectively bargaining with their employers.

The act also allocates $100,000 from the state General Fund to educate public employees about these new rights starting July 1, 2026.
