It has been a wild week at the North Carolina General Assembly. Several high-profile and controversial bills received hearings and went through lengthy debates.
Thursday was the crossover deadline, the date by which most bills filed in one chamber must pass through all appropriate committees and a final floor vote before it may be considered in the other chamber. In the next few weeks, the House will start to take up bills that originated in the Senate and vice versa.
All DPS agency bills subject to crossover made the deadline. House Bill 814, Emergency Management Modifications received a unanimous House floor vote on Wednesday evening.
The Senate continues to work on their version of the budget behind closed doors. Some of this work might have been stalled by the crossover deadline but is expected to pick back up in full force next week. The work will be behind-the-scenes, but the Senate budget is on track to be released week after next.
