Governor Stein made the following statement on his signing of House Bill 506: 2025 State Investment Modernization Act:
“This bill puts North Carolina in line with the rest of the nation and allows us to make responsible decisions investing our state employees’ hard-earned pensions. I applaud Treasurer Briner for his leadership in modernizing our state’s investment system.”
Governor Stein made the following statement on his signing of House Bill 50: LEO Special Separation Allowance Options:
“Our law enforcement work day and night to keep us safe, and we need more public spirited people serving to address our law enforcement staffing challenges. This law enables veteran law enforcement officers to continue serving our communities and supporting their families without suffering a financial penalty.
