Maddy summaryThis bill proposes adding a new section to the North Carolina Constitution to guarantee the public's right to access government records and attend public meetings. It declares that public records belong to the people and mandates that records and meetings for all state and local government branches be open for inspection and duplication. The amendment allows restrictions on this access only if the government can prove a compelling public interest exists and that the restriction is narrowly tailored to protect that interest. If voters approve this change in the November 2024 election, it will become part of the state constitution immediately upon certification.

Town of Pineville/Reserve Police.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends the charter of the Town of Pineville to allow the town council to pay members of its auxiliary police division when they are called to active duty. Under the new provision, the council would have the authority to set the specific amount of compensation for these services. The change directly affects the town's budget and the auxiliary police officers who serve in a reserve capacity.
