SR 260 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Confirm Dr. Devdutta Sangvai/DHHS.

This Senate Simple Resolution (SR 260) formally asks the North Carolina Senate to consider confirming Dr. Devdutta Sangvai for appointment as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It follows state law requiring Senate confirmation for the Governor's appointment of a department head. The resolution triggers the Senate's formal review process for this specific nomination, which is pending under North Carolina's constitutional requirements. The bill itself does not change policy or create new rules - it solely addresses the procedural step of confirming a gubernatorial appointment.

What changed between versions

Edition 1 → Adopted · 3 edits
MINOR
This resolution was amended from a procedural resolution seeking Senate confirmation to a final confirmation resolution. The substantive change is that the Senate has now confirmed Dr. Devdutta Sangvai as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, replacing the earlier language that asked whether the Senate would consider confirmation.
Scope change
The resolution's scope changed from a procedural vote on confirmation to an enacted confirmation of the appointment.
REQUIREMENT

Changed from asking whether the Senate would consider confirming Dr. Devdutta Sangvai to stating that the Senate has confirmed her as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Whereas' clauses that referenced G.S. 143B-9(a) and the North Carolina Constitution, as these are no longer needed for a final confirmation resolution.

Updated the version number from S260-v-1 to S260-v-2 and added 'Adopted 4/3/25' to indicate the resolution was officially adopted.
