Constitutional Amendment/Photo ID.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment in North Carolina to require all voters to present photographic identification before casting a ballot, expanding a rule that currently applies only to those voting in person. The legislation would place this change on the ballot for a statewide vote on November 5, 2024, asking voters to decide whether to mandate photo ID for everyone regardless of how they vote. If approved by a majority of voters, the amendment would become part of the state constitution and allow the General Assembly to set specific rules for acceptable forms of identification. If rejected, the proposal will have no effect and the existing voting requirements will remain unchanged.

Schools for the Deaf and Blind Transition.

Maddy summaryThis amendment modifies an existing bill regarding student search procedures to specify that searches of a student's person must be conducted privately by one school official and one adult witness of the same sex as the student. The text allows for exceptions to this rule when using minimally intrusive security devices like walk-through metal detectors or handheld wands. These changes directly affect school policies on how students are searched and aim to ensure privacy and fairness during the investigation process.

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.
