| H79 | North Carolina Work and Save | AN ACT TO CREATE THE SMALL BUSINESS RETIREMENT SAVINGS PROGRAM AND TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS. Whereas, the General Assembly finds that too many North Carolina citizens have no or inadequate savings for retirement, and an estimated 1.7 million North Carolina working families, including employees, independent contractors, and the self-employed, have no access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan or program or any other easy way to save at work; and Whereas, it is the policy of the State to assist the North Carolina private-sector workforce, including in particular moderate- and lower-income working households, to voluntarily save for retirement, including by facilitating saving in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) as well as by encouraging employers to adopt retirement savings and other retirement plans for employees in the State; and Whereas, more adequate, portable, low-cost, and consumer-protective retirement saving by North Carolina households will enhance their retirement security and ultimately reduce the pressure on State public assistance programs for retirees and other elderly citizens and the potential burden on North Carolina taxpayers to finance such programs; and Whereas, the General Assembly intends to establish a North Carolina Work and Save Program that will use the services of competent and qualified private-sector entities selected by the North Carolina Small Business Retirement Savings Program Board to administer the Program and manage the funds on behalf of the Program participants; and Whereas, the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer manages the State's finances, including pensions, healthcare, investments, and unclaimed property; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| H597 | Adopt Osprey as State Raptor | AN ACT TO ADOPT THE OSPREY AS THE OFFICIAL RAPTOR OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. Whereas, ospreys are raptors that are plentiful in North Carolina, inhabiting estuaries, lakes, rivers, and marshes throughout the Coastal Plain, but can often be seen nesting as well near lakes and rivers in other parts of the State; and Whereas, ospreys are majestic birds that stand 21 to 26 inches tall, weigh up to four pounds, and have wingspans that measure up to about six feet; and Whereas, ospreys have plumage that is generally dark on the back and wings, while the under plumage is mostly white; and Whereas, ospreys have distinctive white coloring on the top of their heads and a dark stripe that runs through each eye to the nape; and Whereas, ospreys can be recognized during flight by the crooked or M-shape of their wings; and Whereas, ospreys are diurnal birds of prey that hunt during daylight hours when they use their keen eyesight to focus on locating fish just below the surface of the water; and Whereas, ospreys are unique among North American raptors, feeding almost exclusively on live fish with a diet that includes about 80 different species of saltwater and freshwater fish; and Whereas, ospreys are the only raptors that plunge into water feet first and can dive 30 miles per hour or greater to grasp fish with their specially equipped talons; and Whereas, ospreys have earned the reputation as "Fishermen of the Seas"; and Whereas, ospreys are one of the most easily observed birds of prey, because they use brush, driftwood, sticks, twigs, and other debris to build large, bulky nests in dead trees along waterways or in man-made structures over open water, such as channel markers; and Whereas, ospreys typically reach sexual maturity in their third year and are monogamous, with pairs returning to the same nest year after year, usually in early March for breeding season; and Whereas, the female usually lays two to five eggs, for which the incubation period is 34 to 40 days, and, after the chicks hatch, they remain in the nest for 48 to 59 days to fledge, becoming independent of their parents four to eight weeks later but prior to the start of fall migration; and Whereas, although female ospreys are somewhat larger than males, each partner has an average life expectancy that exceeds 10 years; and Whereas, because of their sensitivity to contaminants in the environment and the ease with which they can be observed and monitored, ospreys can serve as an excellent indicator of the health of the environment; and Whereas, the U.S. osprey population has been increasing steadily since 1960 when it was at an all-time low, which was attributed to the peak of the use of harmful pesticides, which were leeching into U.S. waterways; and Whereas, the resiliency of the osprey reflects the spirit of the "Tar Heel nature" of the people of the State of North Carolina; and Whereas, North Carolina does not have an official State raptor; 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 |

| 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 |

| H600 | Recognition of the Tuscarora | AN ACT TO RESTORE OFFICIAL RECOGNITION TO THE TUSCARORA AND TO PROVIDE THEM REPRESENTATION ON THE COMMISSION OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. Whereas, the passage of Senate Bill 642 by the 1971 General Assembly created the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs, recognizing the existence within the State of certain named Indian tribes and also acknowledged the fact that members of other Indian tribes reside within the State; and Whereas, the Tuscarora were recognized through treaties with the North Carolina government, but were not among those tribes recognized in 1971; and Whereas, the Tuscarora were a powerful tribe at the time of the English settlement of the land that became North Carolina and Virginia and their prominent role in the early history of both states is well documented; and Whereas, the Tuscarora and the Cherokee are the only tribes to hold treaties with the North Carolina government; and Whereas, the King of the Tuscarora was the signatory of the 1712 General Articles of Peace and the 1714 Sun and Moon Peace Treaty and these treaties helped establish a lasting and prosperous peace between The Tuscarora and the government and citizens of North Carolina; and Whereas, the Tuscarora signed a stand-alone Treaty in 1717 with Governor Eden that reserved 56,000 acres of historic Tuscarora territory in Bertie County exclusively for the Tuscarora known as Indian Woods and in 1748 legislation reestablished the official boundaries and drew a map of its proximities; and Whereas, for two centuries, parcels of Indian Woods were allotted to descendants of the Tuscarora Tribe and they have persisted as communities of Tuscarora People since that time and have reorganized and incorporated into The Tuscarora Indians of Kahtenuaka Territories and appointed a tribal council to represent all North Carolina Tuscarora; and Whereas, a review of historical documents and testimony confirmed the current Tribal Council of The Tuscarora Indians of Kahtenuaka Territories consists of descendants of the historical Tuscarora Tribe; and Whereas, the Tuscarora and its descendants contributed and continue to contribute to the settlement and growth of the State of North Carolina, have maintained their ethnic background, original language and culture and number among themselves families with names well-known throughout the area and the State; 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 |
