| H434 | Lower Healthcare Costs | AN ACT LOWERING HEALTHCARE COSTS AND INCREASING PRICE TRANSPARENCY. Whereas, rising healthcare costs place a significant financial burden on individuals, families, employers, and taxpayers, greatly contribute to inflation, and make it increasingly difficult for residents to access essential healthcare services; and Whereas, North Carolina has intolerably high healthcare costs, with recent studies ranking the State 50th out of 50 in the United States; and Whereas, skyrocketing healthcare costs have resulted in over 40 percent of Americans reporting some type of healthcare debt, according to one study; and Whereas, many patients face unexpected medical bills due to a lack of disclosure about out-of-network providers and a general lack of transparency in healthcare pricing, resulting in financial strain and hardship; and Whereas, employers are burdened with the increasing costs of providing health insurance for employees, leading to higher premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses; and Whereas, patients and employers are often unable to compare the costs of medical services due to a lack of clear and accessible pricing information, hindering their ability to make informed decisions; and Whereas, the absence of price transparency in the healthcare system leads to market inefficiencies, less awareness of price difference, less competition, and higher prices, with consumers often unable to identify the most cost-effective providers; and Whereas, transparency in healthcare pricing allows consumers to shop for affordable healthcare services and encourages competition among healthcare providers to offer more competitive pricing; and Whereas, providing consumers with clear, understandable, and accessible information about the costs of healthcare services will foster a more competitive and patient-centered healthcare market; and Whereas, requiring healthcare providers and insurers to disclose their prices in advance, including all providers and services a patient may need, both in-network and out-of-network, will enable consumers to make more informed choices about their care, leading to better healthcare outcomes at lower costs; and Whereas, price transparency will incentivize hospitals and healthcare providers to improve the quality of care while reducing prices, to the benefit of patients and employers; and Whereas, clear pricing and competition among healthcare providers will encourage innovation in healthcare delivery and improve overall efficiency within the system; and Whereas, empowering patients and employers with pricing information will help create a healthcare system that prioritizes affordability, access, and choice; and Whereas, President Trump recently signed an Executive Order to make healthcare prices transparent, "empower[ing] patients with clear, accurate, and actionable healthcare pricing information," also "ensur[ing] hospitals and insurers disclose actual prices, not estimates, and take action to make prices comparable across hospitals and insurers, including prescription drug prices"; Now, therefore, | Crossed Over |

MARION GENERAL HOSPITAL, 202 N.C. 337 (1932). Whereas, Byrd v. Marion General Hospital, 202 N.C. 337 (1932) established case law in North Carolina, enduring for 90 years, that prevented a registered nurse from being liable when acting under the orders of a physician; and Whereas, that case law was overturned in Connette ex rel. Gullatte v. Charlotte Mecklenburg Hospital Authority, 2022-NCSC-95; and Whereas, both the majority of the court and the dissent in that decision pointed out that the authority to prevent this liability is a function of the North Carolina General Assembly, but the General Assembly has been silent; and Whereas, this General Assembly establishes the prevention from this liability with the enactment of this general law; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H877 | Childcare Pilot | AN ACT TO ESTABLISH A PILOT PROGRAM INVOLVING A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE REDUCED COST CHILDCARE BY LEVERAGING STATE RESOURCES TO REDUCE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ESTABLISHING A CHILDCARE FACILITY. Whereas, the General Assembly recognizes that childcare availability is essential to enabling all those individuals who wish to participate in the workforce to do so; and Whereas, the General Assembly also recognizes that the costs of childcare need to be lowered to enable more individuals to be able to afford to leave home and either go to work or return to work after having a child; and Whereas, assuring quality childcare opportunities in every county within the State supports the potential for employers to make economic investments in all the State's 100 counties; and Whereas, being able to take advantage of quality childcare facilities within their local communities at a below market rate cost will enable more parents to enter or reenter the workplace; and Whereas, the General Assembly recognizes that one of the ways to reduce the costs of childcare to consumers is by lowering the one-time capital costs of the land, site infrastructure, and the building that will house the childcare operation; and Whereas, the General Assembly further recognizes that another way to lower those capital costs is through the repurposing of an existing publicly owned building and its site infrastructure; and Whereas, to promote the development of quality childcare facilities in all counties of the State, the General Assembly implements the following pilot public-private (P3) project as a demonstration of how publicly owned property and one-time public capital funding can be leveraged to result in a quality childcare facility; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H774 | School Breakfast for All | AN ACT TO PROVIDE BREAKFAST TO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS AT NO COST TO THE STUDENTS AND TO ESTABLISH THE FARM-TO-TABLE INITIATIVE. Whereas, one in five kids goes hungry every day in North Carolina, putting them at risk of poor health and educational outcomes; and Whereas, hunger negatively impacts a child's ability to learn, concentrate, and perform well in school; and Whereas, research shows that students who eat a nutritious breakfast demonstrate higher academic achievement, improved behavior, and increased school attendance; and Whereas, the economic benefits of school breakfast at no cost to the student and family include reduced absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and long-term workforce productivity; and Whereas, North Carolina is home to a rich agricultural industry, and sourcing locally grown fruits, vegetables, dairy, and proteins for school meals stimulates economic growth in rural communities; and Whereas, partnerships between schools, farmers, and food distributors create new market opportunities for North Carolina's agricultural sector while ensuring students receive nutritious meals; and Whereas, funding and policy support within School Breakfast for All legislation would align with North Carolina's goals for economic sustainability, public health, and student success; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H766 | Expand Access to Teen Mental Health First Aid | AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DIVISION OF CHILD AND FAMILY WELL-BEING, TO EXPAND ACCESS TO TEEN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING. Whereas, ten percent (10%) of North Carolina's high school students reported having attempted suicide in the last year and twenty-two percent (22%) of these same students reported having seriously contemplated suicide; and Whereas, 1 in 5 teens in the United States will likely experience a mental health challenge by the age of eighteen and sixty-four percent (64%) of these teens are unlikely to seek professional help; and Whereas, teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) is an evidence-based course developed to teach teens who are in grades nine through twelve, or ages fourteen through eighteen, how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among their friends and peers; and Whereas, the tMHFA curriculum covers common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges in this age group and how to connect teens with trusted and responsible adults for support and assistance during a mental health or substance use crisis; and Whereas, the University of North Carolina has trained 1,519 teens in ten counties in the tMHFA curriculum and established a cohort of 68 tMHFA instructors; and Whereas, completion of the tMHFA course has shown a fifty percent (50%) increase in the willingness of teens to tell someone and seek help from an adult or health care professional about mental health and substance use challenges; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

Whereas, North Carolina is expected to be the seventh largest state in the nation by 2035 and demand for health care will continue to increase; and Whereas, North Carolina has provided over 628,000 North Carolinians access to insurance through Medicaid expansion but lacks the health care providers to ensure their access to care; and Whereas, APRNs are registered nurses with master's or doctorate degrees and advanced education and training; and Whereas, North Carolina has over 20,000 advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who have been educated and licensed to practice to their full scope; and Whereas, more than three decades of research demonstrates that APRNs improve access to safe, high-quality, cost-effective, patient-centered health care; and Whereas, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has called for states to allow APRNs to practice to the full extent of their licensure and education since the 2010 release of the IOM Report on the Future of Nursing; and Whereas, health care costs in North Carolina are among the highest in the nation; and Whereas, a recent report by a Ph.D. health care economist at Duke University estimates savings of at least $700 million annually for North Carolina patients, employers, and taxpayers by removing unnecessary and antiquated government regulations; and Whereas, 36 other states have rolled back these costly and burdensome government regulations on advanced practice registered nurses over the past 31 years with no evidence of negative effects on patient safety, and indeed positive impact on patient care, according to numerous studies; and Whereas, no state has enacted these reforms and later reversed course to reinstate these government regulations; and Whereas, the APRN role has existed for over a half century but remains undefined in North Carolina statute; and Whereas, North Carolina's courts and executive branch have called on the legislature, the body of the people, to remove the ambiguity surrounding APRN practice by clearly defining it in statute; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H125 | Adopt Official State Star | AN ACT ADOPTING THE MORAVIAN STAR AS THE OFFICIAL STATE STAR. Whereas, many believe the Moravian star originated in Germany in the 1830s during a geometry lesson at the Moravian Boys School; and Whereas, the star was adopted by the Moravian Church as an advent symbol and later became a popular symbol all around the world; and Whereas, the Moravian star is usually hung the first Sunday of Advent and remains up until Epiphany, January 6; and Whereas, it is fitting to recognize the positive impact the Moravians have had on North Carolina's culture by adopting the Moravian star as the official State star; Now, therefore, | Crossed Over |
| H124 | Adopt Official State Cookie | AN ACT ADOPTING THE MORAVIAN COOKIE AS THE OFFICIAL STATE COOKIE. Whereas, during the 18th century, settlers from the European kingdom of Moravia traveled to America and founded the town of Salem (now Winston-Salem) in North Carolina in 1766; and Whereas, when the Moravians settled in North Carolina, they brought with them a spice cookie similar to the German Lebkuchen cookie; and Whereas, these thin spice cookies are known as Moravian cookies and made of ingredients such as molasses, allspice, and ginger; and Whereas, the Moravian cookie is one of the most popular cookies in North Carolina; and Whereas, Moravian cookies have been made and sold in Winston-Salem since the 1950s and millions of pounds of cookies are baked, packaged, and distributed worldwide annually; and Whereas, sales of Moravian cookies promote tourism in the State and contribute to the State's economy; and Whereas, it is fitting to recognize the positive impact the Moravians have had on the State's culture by adopting the Moravian cookie as the official cookie of the State of North Carolina; Now, therefore, | Crossed Over |
| H410 | NCIOM Study/Medical Aid in Dying | AN ACT DIRECTING THE NORTH CAROLINA INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE TO STUDY THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL AID IN DYING IN NORTH CAROLINA; AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE. Whereas, medical aid in dying (MAID) is a recognized end-of-life (EOL) option for terminally ill, mentally competent adults who have been diagnosed with a life expectancy of less than 6 months to hasten the dying process; and Whereas, since 1997, 10 states and the District of Columbia have legalized MAID to enable eligible adults who have been examined by at least two physicians to receive an aid in dying medication that these adults may choose to self-administer in the comfort of their own homes among family members and friends; and Whereas, many adults choose not to take the aid in dying medication even after completing the rigorous application process, but are nevertheless comforted by a renewed sense of autonomy and control in having the aid in dying medication on hand; and Whereas, data from the 11 United States jurisdictions that have legalized MAID indicates that over 90% of MAID applicants have medical insurance and are enrolled in hospice but nevertheless prefer to abbreviate the dying process through MAID; and Whereas, in the collective 50 years of data available from the 11 United States juridictions that have legalized MAID, there have been no recorded instances of misuse, abuse, or coercion and the MAID laws have been operating as envisioned since the time of enactment; and Whereas, the percentage of eligible adults who have availed themselves of this end-of-life option in each United States jurisdiction where MAID has been legalized has not exceeded 0.75%; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H60 | Modernize Medicaid Dental Rates | AN ACT TO MODERNIZE MEDICAID DENTAL RATES. Whereas, good oral health is vital to good overall health, and untreated oral health conditions negatively affect overall health and have associations with chronic disease, including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease, and even mental illness; and Whereas, the failure to adjust reimbursement rates to account for increasing inflation and costs over the last fifteen years has resulted in reduced dental provider participation in Medicaid; and Whereas, regular preventative dental care is the most cost effective method available to prevent minor oral conditions from developing into more complex oral and physical health conditions that would eventually require emergency and palliative care; and Whereas, in order to improve overall health and access to quality care, increase provider participation in Medicaid, and prevent future health conditions caused by overall health problems, it is in the best interest of the State to raise Medicaid reimbursement rates paid to dental care providers from 35% to 46% of the average dentist charges in 2023 in order to provide rates that are comparable with the Medicaid rates of surrounding states; Now, therefore, | In Committee |
| H46 | Make Healthcare Affordable | AN ACT TO DISCLOSE THE COST OF STATE GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE MANDATES ON NORTH CAROLINA'S EMPLOYERS AND TAXPAYERS. Whereas, the rising healthcare costs in North Carolina place a significant financial burden on individuals, families, employers, and taxpayers, greatly contribute to inflation, and make it increasingly difficult for residents to access essential healthcare services; and Whereas, North Carolina has intolerably high healthcare costs, with recent studies ranking the state 50th out of 50 in the United States; and Whereas, government-mandated health insurance requirements for employers in North Carolina lead to higher premiums, placing undue financial strain on employers, particularly small businesses; and Whereas, health insurance mandates on the North Carolina State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees carry a cost that is ultimately paid for by taxpayers and divert resources away from other critical public services and economic investments; and Whereas, many consumers in North Carolina are forced to pay for health insurance coverage they neither need nor use as a result of government-mandated benefits that do not align with their personal healthcare needs or preference; and Whereas, the continued escalation of healthcare costs driven by government mandates exacerbates the rising cost of living, as individuals and families struggle to afford both premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for necessary care, and the rising cost of doing business, as employers struggle to continue offering health insurance to employees; Now, therefore, | In Committee |
