CHAMBER ADVOCACY
LAST WEEK IN RALEIGH:

While our representatives in Raleigh are in the crucial budget negotiation phase of the 2021 legislative session, the next few weeks appear likely to remain on the quieter side at the General Assembly. Members of the Senate are expected to hold their next voting session next week, the House aims to finalize its budget proposal by the second week in August. Following that we can expect the negotiation process to ramp up. This sets the stage for a potential budget deal before the end of August.

Want to know the latest from the North Carolina General Assembly?

They have a robust website with details and links to answer questions you may have related to current legislation under consideration. Here you will find calendars for both the House and Senate, daily lists of Bills that were filed or acted upon, a Bill look-up field, and much more. Check it out!
