Today, Governor Roy Cooper signed the following bills into law:
- House Bill 87: Probation Modifications/Sheriff Authority.
- House Bill 103: GSC Technical Corrections 2023.
Governor Cooper also vetoed the following bill:
- Senate Bill 364: Nondiscrim & Dignity in State Work.
Governor Cooper made the following statement on SB 364:
"In North Carolina, the diversity of our people is a strength. This legislation attempts to eliminate training that can help us understand the unconscious bias we all bring to our work and our communities. It is troubling that a legislature that witnessed open racism on the floor of the House of Representatives wants to stop training aimed at creating a more effective and understanding workforce. Instead of pretending that bias and racism don’t exist, the legislature should instead encourage training that can help eliminate discrimination so we can work toward common goals."
