The pace at the General Assembly remains relatively slow as members work on a final budget. Many meetings are taking place behind closed doors and leaders continue to indicate that budget conversations are ongoing.
House Bill 834, Juv Capacity/Transfer/Interrog/Confidential, which makes changes to the juvenile justice system, has been sent to the Senate for consideration. Since the bill appropriates funding to implement a provision, it was not subject to the crossover deadline. The House voted this week to concur on the Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill 347, Sports Wagering/Horse Racing Wagering, which allows for sports betting in North Carolina. The bill was sent to Governor Cooper for signature on June 9th. During session, the Governor has 10 days to either sign or veto a bill. If the Governor takes no action on the bill, it will become law without his signature.
