The General Assembly had another quiet week as budget negotiations continue amongst House and Senate leadership. These meetings take place behind closed doors, but legislators have indicated conversations around top line items, such as tax cuts, are the hold up in the negotiation process.
As there is no budget, the State will operate under G.S. 143C-5-4, which authorizes and appropriates funds to continue operations at a level not to exceed the level of recurring expenditures from the prior fiscal year. This allows agencies to continue to hire and fill positions and process other actions under very limited circumstances.
There will be no votes taken next week which sends us into August before there are committee meetings or floor votes.
