2022 NC Legislative Scorecard 2021-

H951 requires the Utilities Commission to take all reasonable steps to achieve a 70% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide from electric public utilities from 2005 levels by the year 2030, and carbon neutrality by the year 2050.

The North Carolina State Senate passed H951 on October 6, 2021 by a vote of 42 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation advances the Marxist climate change agenda and taxpayers should not be on the hook for this cost.

S408 expands Medicaid coverage for adults aged 18-64 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level and invests $1 billion to address the opioid, substance abuse, and mental health crisis using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, This legislation also include proposals to increase access to healthcare in rural areas of the State.

The North Carolina State Senate passed S408 on May 10, 2021 by a vote of 49 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this law greatly expands the size of government, creating a program that only benefits one faction of the population. Also, the spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution tightens the federal-state lockstep on redistribution of income. Additionally, distribution of federal taxpayer dollars comes with contingencies and requirements, forcing states into situations that violate the U.S. Constitution. Healthcare is not a right under the constitution.

S101 Requires that state officials must work with ICE and make sure they are aware when an individual charged with certain offenses was in custody and that person's legal residency or United States citizenship status was undetermined.

The North Carolina State Senate passed S101 on July 1, 2022 by a vote of 25 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because state or local governments that pursue “sanctuary policy” undermine the U.S. Constitution’s provision, in both Art. I Sec. 8 and Art. 2 Sec. 3, that the federal government shall have the power to establish uniform immigration law and ensure that such law be faithfully executed.  Moreover, the 10th Amendment reserves powers to the states that can be used to address the crisis of illegal immigration and provide for their own public safety.

S725 bans North Carolina election boards and officials in counties from accepting private money to run elections (Zuckerbucks).

The North Carolina State Senate passed S725 on November 29, 2021 by a vote of 27 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of elections.

H398 repeals the pistol purchase permit system in North Carolina.

The North Carolina State Senate passed H398 on August 18, 2021 by a vote of 27 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and there should be no infringement whatsoever on that right.
