Notable legislation

House Bill 551 – Strengthening Victims' Rights. [8] This bill was based on Marsy's Law, making North Carolina one of several states that have adopted the constitutional amendment. [9] House Bill 551 amended the state constitution to expand the legal rights of crime victims. This constitutional amendment was approved by a majority of North Carolinians in November 2018. [10]

House Bill 370 – House Bill 370 "Require Cooperation with ICE Detainers" [11] would obligate North Carolina's sheriffs to notify federal immigration agents if the Sheriffs department cannot determine an inmate's legal status in the United States of America, the sheriff's would be obligated to hold inmates already in their custody who are subject to a detainer by I.C.E for up to 48 hours. [12] House Bill 370 passed both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly [13] but was vetoed by Governor Roy Cooper [14] on August 21, 2019. [15]

House Bill 218 – House Bill 218, “Broadcast NC House of Reps Sessions" pushed for video coverage at the General Assembly. It was supposed to establish a devoted webcast of daily House sessions and directed that sessions of “particular public importance” should be aired on UNCTV. [16] In 2019, North Carolina was one of seven that did not provide video broadcasts or video webcasts of their legislative sessions to the public. [17] The bill passed through the North Carolina House by a vote of 116–1, [18] however the bill was never passed by the North Carolina Senate. Even though the bill had been stopped in the Senate Rules Committee, Speaker of The House Tim Moore directed that the North Carolina House of Representatives would broadcast its legislative sessions by video via web streaming services. The video broadcasts began in April 2020. [19]

This video system was implemented at the time when it was most useful. The COVID-19 outbreak increased public interest in legislative issues, and the new video system allowed for North Carolinians to tune in to the legislative sessions of the North Carolina House of Representatives. [20]
