North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has signed into law nearly all of the bills remaining on his desk from the pile that the Republican-dominated General Assembly sent him before this year’s work session ended. But he vetoed another measure and will let the legislature’s annual “regulatory reform” measure become law without his signature.
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper signed into law on Monday nearly all of the bills remaining on his desk from the pile that the Republican-dominated General Assembly sent him beforeBut he vetoed another measure and will let the legislature’s annual “regulatory reform” measure become law without his signature.
The vetoed measures bring to five the number that he formally blocked from the batch of almost 30 bills that the legislators left him in late June. Since Republicans hold narrow veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate, the chances that these vetoes will be overridden are high.North Carolina’s restrictions on public mask-wearing are now law after some key revisions
Cooper said the “Regulatory Reform Act” that he declined to sign into law contained some important changes that should become law — and will by his inaction. But he said it also contains a provision where the General Assembly seeks to interfere with the charter and bylaws of the North Carolina Railroad, a private corporation whose stock is owned by the state.
Cooper signed on Monday two budget-related bills that the legislature passed as stopgaps since the Senate and House couldn’t agree on broad adjustments to the second year of the two-year budget enacted last fall. One of the bills includes language formally enacting an average 3% base salary increase for public school teachers starting this fall that lawmakers had previously agreed upon. The other contains child care grant funds.
