Sen. Dana Jones

Maddy summarySB 31, "The Wells Act," requires North Carolina's Legislative Library to request documentation (like membership lists, meeting minutes, and bylaws) from state boards, committees, and commissions that haven't met in the past year or failed to respond within 120 days. If inactive, these bodies are added to a list for the Joint Legislative Administrative Procedure Oversight Committee, which must recommend their repeal in the 2026 legislative session. The bill directly affects inactive state advisory bodies, aiming to eliminate those not functioning as intended. It creates a formal process to identify and eliminate redundant government structures without altering their operational rules.

Maddy summarySB 39 would add a 14th member to North Carolina's General Statutes Commission, appointed by the dean of High Point University School of Law. This procedural bill modifies the commission's membership structure under G.S. 164-14, specifying that one of the 14 members must come from High Point Law School. It does not change the commission's duties or impact state laws directly; it only alters who serves on the body responsible for reviewing and updating North Carolina's statutes. The bill is purely administrative, adding a specific appointment slot without substantive policy changes.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows students attending public, private, or homeschools without a specific sport or extracurricular program to participate at the nearest public high school offering that activity. It requires public schools to permit such participation under the same terms as enrolled students, with schools able to charge a reasonable, board-approved fee for non-enrolled students. The law mandates that school districts publish all approved participation fees online by October 15 each year. It applies beginning with the 2025-2026 school year.

Maddy summaryThis is a procedural bill with no substantive policy provisions. It solely relates to the 31st Senatorial District in North Carolina and contains no actual legislative changes or mechanisms. The bill serves as a placeholder to reference the district designation, with no impact on residents, laws, or government operations. It affects no individuals or entities beyond formally identifying the district in legislative records.
