Dear Friends,

Is it Friday yet? It has felt like an extremely long week but I know Crossover week will be even longer.

This week I have felt like I have been in a perpetual game of Whack-a-Mole. One bad bill after another has reared its ugly head and I have taken swings at trying to fix them. NCLCV’s Legislative Scorecard has seen many potential scoring opportunities from this week. Here are just a few that come to mind:

  • HB74 Periodic Review and Expiration of Rules
  • HB201 Reinstate 2009 Energy Conservation Codes
  • HB480 Environmental Permitting Reform
  • HB628 Protect/Promote NC Lumber
  • HB1011 Government Reorganization and Efficiency Act
  • SB32 Periodic Review and Expiration of Rules

NCLCV opposes all of this legislation that stands to hurt our environmental protections that have made North Carolina a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

These bills as currently constituted will all likely appear in our Scorecard at the end of session.

If you have any questions about these bills or any others, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best,
Dan Crawford | dan@nclcv.org
