Bill > H1006

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to require that all legislative acts in North Carolina contain only one subject, which must be clearly stated in the bill's title. The amendment would apply to most bills, with specific exceptions for general appropriation acts, revenue acts, and bills containing only technical corrections. If approved by voters in the November 3, 2026 statewide election, the amendment would require the State Board of Elections to certify the results, and if a majority votes in favor, the Secretary of State would record the amendment. The ballot will present voters with a clear choice: "FOR" or "AGAINST" the constitutional amendment limiting bill subjects. The purpose of this amendment is to increase legislative transparency and prevent lawmakers from bundling unrelated provisions into a single bill, a practice sometimes referred to as "log-rolling," which can make it difficult for legislators and the public to fully understand the complete scope of proposed legislation. If certified, the amendment would become effective immediately upon receiving majority voter approval.
