Constitutional Amendment/Council of State Vacancies.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how North Carolina fills vacancies for seven specific state offices, including the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Superintendent of Public Instruction. If passed by voters, the new rule would require the Governor to appoint a replacement from a list of three candidates recommended by the political party of the original officeholder, provided the party submits the list within 30 days of the vacancy. The amendment also clarifies that if an office term ends on January 1 following the next legislative election, the Governor must appoint someone to finish the term. The measure is scheduled for a vote by the public at the November 5, 2024, statewide general election.

Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act, prohibits payment card networks from using special codes to track purchases of firearms or ammunition at merchants in North Carolina. It also bans these networks from maintaining records that identify individuals who own firearms within the state. The law applies to entities that process electronic payments, such as credit card companies, but excludes federally insured banks and credit unions. If a payment network violates these rules, the Attorney General can impose fines of up to $10,000 per violation, and affected merchants or customers can sue for similar damages plus legal fees. The legislation aims to prevent the surveillance of lawful gun purchases and ensure that firearms merchants are not discriminated against based on their business type.

Community College Funding and Tuition Surcharge.

Maddy summaryThis North Carolina bill directs the State Board of Community Colleges to revise how community colleges are funded, ensuring each institution receives a base amount of money plus additional funds based on student enrollment in specific workforce and skills courses. The legislation also creates a new savings account called the Enrollment Increase Reserve, which allows the state to set aside extra tuition revenue to help colleges manage sudden spikes in student numbers that exceed their budgeted plans. Finally, the bill permits individual community colleges to charge a local tuition and fee surcharge to generate additional revenue for their operations. These changes directly affect community college administrators, students, and the state's education funding structure by altering how money is allocated and collected.
