Bill > S58

This bill introduces two primary provisions restricting the North Carolina Attorney General's ability to participate in certain litigation. First, the bill prohibits the Attorney General from filing or participating in any legal action that would result in invalidating an executive order issued by the President of the United States, either as a party, amicus, or other participant in state or federal courts. Additionally, the bill requires the Attorney General to submit a report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Justice and Public Safety by June 1, 2025, detailing the number of convictions under G.S. 14-277 (a statute likely related to impersonation) obtained between January 1, 2021, and March 1, 2025, with specific focus on convictions involving impersonation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The Attorney General must coordinate with various judicial and prosecutorial entities to gather this information. The bill becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, with the litigation restrictions applying to actions filed or commenced on or after that date.
