I searched and searched and I cant find a complete list of the 50 laws, I know we discussed a lot of them over the summer.
Here is some I found, my goal is to have all 50 laws in this thread, please share any new laws that went into effect.
thanks
1. Concealed weapon permit holders will have more leeway to bring their handguns into bars and restaurants and onto school and university property.
2. Make clear the definition of "recreational facilities" where local governments can regulate the possession of concealed weapons. The definition includes athletic fields, swimming pools and gymnasium but doesn't include playgrounds, greenways or bike paths.
3. It illegal starting Tuesday to carry out abortions on the basis of the baby's gender and limits abortion coverage in insurance plans offered by cities and counties to case involving rape, incest or danger to the mother's life.
4. Owners of boats also now have to pay higher one- or three-year fees to obtain their vessel's license number and higher new and transfer title fees. A large portion of the revenues will be transferred to a new dedicated fund to pay for dredging shallow navigation channels and lakes.
5. Prohibit civil actions against North Carolina companies that manufacture, advertise or distribute food on claims their products led to long-term consumption of food or drinks led to excessive weight gain and health problems. The "Commonsense Consumption Act" also makes clear local governments can't pass ordinances like one passed in New York City prohibiting the sale of large soft drinks.
6. Direct county social service offices to perform criminal background checks for Work First and food stamps applicants and recipients to ensure they are not parole violators or facing felony charges.
7. Expand criminal punishments for prostitution, solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking, while providing immunity from prosecution for minors suspected or charged with the crime.
8. Require carbon monoxide detectors in hotel and motel rooms where fossil-fuel heaters or fireplaces are installed in enclosed rooms or very close by.
9.Set higher registration fees for state government lobbyists and the entities for which they lobby.
10. Raise penalties for a motorist who causes a motorcyclist to change lanes and get into a serious accident.
11. Requires that all prisoners in the state adult correction system be tested for HIV.
