H500 NC Adopt ERA AN ACT TO RATIFY THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Whereas, Article V of the Constitution of the United States of America sets forth a two-step amending process; and Whereas, the first step of the Article V amending process is proposal of an amendment by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a convention called by application of two-thirds of the States; and Whereas, the 92nd Congress of the United States of America, at its second session, in both houses, by a constitutional majority of two-thirds thereof, adopted the following proposition to amend the Constitution of the United States of America in the following words, to wit: "JOINT RESOLUTION "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission by the Congress: "ARTICLE ______ "Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. "Sec. 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. "Sec. 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification."; and Whereas, next, the second and final step of the Article V amending process is ratification of an amendment by three-fourths of the States; and Whereas, some forty-eight years after the amendment was adopted by Congress, on January 27, 2020, Virginia became the 38th of the 50, or three-fourths, of the States to ratify this federal Equal Rights Amendment; and Whereas, in its distinct role as one of the original thirteen States, North Carolina participated in the 1787 federal Constitutional Convention and helped draft the precise text of the federal Constitution, including Article V which preserves States' rights to amend the document; and Whereas, a demand for amendments to the federal Constitution in order to recognize individual rights is part of the patriotic heritage of the State of North Carolina; and Whereas, James Madison and other leaders made clear to the state ratifying conventions for the federal Constitution that ratification cannot be conditioned on amendments and, once made, a ratification is final and cannot be rescinded; and Whereas, at the state ratifying convention for the federal Constitution held in Hillsborough in summer of 1788, North Carolina delegates sought a bill of individual rights to be added to the federal Constitution and voted 184 to 84 to neither ratify nor reject the document; and Whereas, as a consequence, North Carolina was one of only two original States not part of the then United States under the new federal Constitution at the end of 1788; and Whereas, the comments and concerns of North Carolina informed James Madison when he drafted amendments preserving individual and States' rights; and Whereas, those proposed twelve amendments were approved by the new Congress in September of 1789; and Whereas, after those amendments were sent to the States for ratification, North Carolina ratified the federal Constitution at its second state ratifying convention in Fayetteville in November of 1789; and Whereas, in December of 1789, North Carolina ratified all twelve of the amendments proposed by Congress; and Whereas, because of North Carolina's initial refusal to ratify a federal Constitution without a bill of rights, we have our first ten amendments protecting individual rights at the national level; and Whereas, another one of the twelve amendments ratified by North Carolina in December of 1789 was added to the federal Constitution over 200 years later, in 1992, when it became fully-ratified by 38 of the 50, or three-fourths, of the States; and Whereas, that amendment, known as the Congressional Pay Amendment, is our 27th Amendment, because Article V of the federal Constitution does not limit the time for States to ratify an amendment; and Whereas, adding a ratification time limit is itself an amendment to the Constitution and must be included within the text of an amendment in order to have effect; and Whereas, the seven-year ratification time frame included in the internal resolution Congress used to vote on the proposed Equal Rights Amendment is outside the text of the amendment and without legal effect; and Whereas, having been fully-ratified by three-fourths of the States as of January 27, 2020, and with those ratifications as final and irrevocable under law, the Equal Rights Amendment is now our 28th Amendment to the federal Constitution, despite a failure to date of the federal government to comply with 1 United States Code 106b requiring official recognition of this constitutional act of the States; and Whereas, North Carolina's own history has shown that a constitutional ratification is an important statement of States' rights at any time, as exemplified by the State's ratification of the 19th Amendment on May 6, 1971, 51 years after its ratification; and Whereas, unlike other State constitutions, the North Carolina State Constitution does not include equal protection against sex discrimination; and Whereas, in a 2020 poll by the Pew Research Center, about eight in ten Americans (78%) said they favored the federal Equal Rights Amendment, including majorities of men and women and Democrats and Republicans alike; and Whereas, bipartisan support for the Equal Rights Amendment has continued to rise in North Carolina, with a 2023 Meredith Poll showing an increase of more than four percent of voters in support (to 71.5%), and opposition falling by more than three percent (to just 13.5%) compared to a 2019 poll; and Whereas, the federal Equal Rights Amendment is a foundational constitutional guarantee in North Carolina and nationally, since it affirms that constitutional rights are held equally by all persons regardless of sex; and Whereas, a recognition of individual rights, including equality of rights under the federal Constitution, is an essential addition to North Carolina's patriotic heritage; Now, therefore, In Committee

H503 Don't Tread on Me Act AN ACT TO ENACT THE DON'T TREAD ON ME: AN INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS ACT. Whereas, the right to individual privacy is a cornerstone of a free society, and the government has no business prying into private lives without a truly compelling reason; and Whereas, medical decisions belong to individuals and families, not politicians, and no one should have to navigate government red tape to make personal health choices; and Whereas, parents - not the government - are responsible for raising their children, deciding their education, and making healthcare decisions without interference from political agendas; and Whereas, every North Carolinian has a constitutional right to a strong public education, and that means access to books, ideas, and knowledge without government censorship or political gatekeeping; and Whereas, discrimination by the government - whether based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or political beliefs - has no place in a free society, and equal protection under the law must apply to everyone; Now, therefore, In Committee
H514 APRN Definitions AN ACT TO DEFINE THE PRACTICE OF NURSING FOR ADVANCED PRACTICE REGISTERED NURSES: NURSE PRACTITIONERS (NP), CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIVES (CNM), CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANESTHETISTS (CRNA), AND CLINICAL NURSE SPECIALISTS (CNS). 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
H509 Right to Reproductive Freedom Act AN ACT TO REMOVE BARRIERS AND GAIN ACCESS TO ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (RIGHT TO REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM ACT). Whereas, the ability to access safe and legal abortion is a critical component of a patient's health and dignity, as well as independence, freedom, and equality; and Whereas, throughout pregnancy, patients must be able to make their own health care decisions with the advice of health care professionals they trust and without government interference; and Whereas, North Carolina has limited access to abortion services by enacting a growing number of hurdles, restrictions, and requirements that serve no medical purpose and are intended to make it more difficult for patients to access health care; and Whereas, the impact of abortion restrictions is predominantly felt by those who already experience systemic barriers to health care, including young people, people of color, those with disabilities, individuals with low incomes, and those who live in rural areas or are undocumented; Now, therefore, In Committee

H391 More APS Staff to Address Elder Abuse AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DIVISION OF SOCIAL SERVICES, TO FUND ADDITIONAL ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES WORKERS AT COUNTY DEPARTMENTS OF SOCIAL SERVICES TO INVESTIGATE AN INCREASING VOLUME OF ELDER ABUSE REPORTS. Whereas, Article 6 of Chapter 108A of the General Statutes mandates county departments of social services to evaluate reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults through a system of protective services known as Adult Protection Services (APS); and Whereas, reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults may include all forms of abuse such as physical, sexual, emotional, mental, passive neglect, and financial exploitation, and may include acts of confinement and willful deprivation; and Whereas, the federal Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) provides 21% of the funding for APS staff at county departments of social services, and the counties provide the remaining 79%; and Whereas, in North Carolina, the State does not allocate State funds for Adult Protective Services; and Whereas, according to the National Council on Aging, pre-pandemic sources estimated approximately one in 10 Americans 60 years of age or older have experienced some form of elder abuse, a more recent study found that one in five older adults reported elder abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic; and Whereas, in county departments of social services with APS units, SSBG funds earmarked for APS are often depleted by mid-year, if not earlier; and Whereas, with the growth in the older adult population, county departments of social services APS staff are overwhelmed by the increased demand in elder abuse cases; and Whereas, while the population increase of those 60 years of age or older contributes to the increased number of APS reports, analysis shows that the number of abuse reports per capita has increased as well; and Whereas, North Carolina counties report the need for additional APS staff; Now, therefore, In Committee
