Clarify DV Misdemeanor.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new statewide Medicaid plan specifically for children and families, requiring the state to issue a request for proposals to select a provider by December 2024. The legislation defines this new plan as distinct from standard Medicaid plans and allows the state to require automatic enrollment in this specialty plan unless a social services official determines that a different plan is better for the child. Additionally, the bill establishes a closed network of providers for specialized services like residential treatment and intensive in-home care within this new plan, while also clarifying rules about when certain groups can leave their current Medicaid plans and what services must be covered.

Comm. Coll. Trustee Terms/Region 4.

Maddy summarySenate Bill 764 revises the terms of office for specific trustees on the boards of seven North Carolina community colleges, including Durham Technical, Piedmont, Richmond, Rowan-Cabarrus, South Piedmont, and Vance-Granville. The law changes how these trustees are selected and for how long they serve by adjusting the duration of terms for seats appointed or elected by county commissioners and the state legislature. For example, some trustees will serve one-year terms instead of the standard four years, while others will serve two or three years to stagger their expiration dates. The bill also establishes that successors to these shorter-term positions will serve the standard four-year term once the current temporary terms end.
