Summary

The North Carolina General Assembly’s short session is underway, with lawmakers focused on several issues. One is the budget. The state has not had a comprehensive budget since 2023 and teacher and state employee pay raises are awaiting passage. An extension of Medicaid funding has just passed, but now there’s a new question: whether to cap property taxes.
