Bill > H503

This bill establishes a comprehensive "Individual Freedom Bill of Rights" in North Carolina, designed to protect personal privacy and individual liberties across multiple domains. The legislation prohibits state and local government agencies from engaging in various intrusive practices, such as warrantless surveillance, mandatory disclosure of private medical, religious, or political information, and tracking personal health data. The bill ensures that government benefits, employment, and services cannot be contingent upon revealing personal information, and prevents agencies from making determinations based on such private details. It safeguards reproductive healthcare decisions, mandates that medical treatments be based on scientific evidence rather than ideology, and protects parental authority in educational and medical contexts. The bill also requires education to be fact-based and historically accurate, preventing political manipulation, and prohibits compelling individuals to affirm specific political ideologies in educational or workplace settings. Furthermore, it prevents discrimination in employment, housing, and public services based on personal beliefs, medical history, or lawful conduct, ensuring that opportunities are merit-based and free from ideological discrimination. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, and represents a comprehensive attempt to protect individual freedoms and prevent government overreach in North Carolina.
