| S110 | 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 529 College Savings Program has demonstrated the feasibility of a public-private partnership that outsources investment and administration to assist private citizens of the State to save on a voluntary and cost-efficient basis; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| S482 | 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 |

Whereas, the current minimum wage in North Carolina has remained stagnant at $7.25 per hour since 2009, failing to keep pace with rising living costs; and Whereas, increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour will enhance financial security for low-income workers, reduce poverty, and boost consumer spending, benefiting the State's economy; and Whereas, automatic inflation adjustments will prevent wage stagnation and ensure that earnings maintain their real value over time; and Whereas, Article I, Section 1, of the North Carolina Constitution affirms the right of all citizens to enjoy the fruits of their labor, which includes fair compensation; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

Whereas, mental health services remain financially inaccessible for many North Carolinians, particularly in underserved areas; and Whereas, expanding access to counseling, therapy, and psychiatric care will improve public health outcomes and reduce long-term healthcare costs; and Whereas, a structured pilot project will allow for data-driven assessment before broader implementation; and Whereas, the North Carolina Constitution, Article XI, Section 4, mandates the State's responsibility to provide for the welfare of its citizens, including mental health support; Now, therefore, | In Committee |
| S524 | Community Safety Partnership Act | AN ACT TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY BY INCENTIVIZING COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS AND PROVIDING A STATE-MANDATED BONUS FOR POLICE OFFICERS ENGAGED IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. Whereas, public safety is a fundamental priority for the State of North Carolina; and Whereas, increased community involvement in neighborhood watch programs has been shown to reduce crime and improve trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve; and Whereas, supporting law enforcement officers in their engagement with local communities will promote safer, stronger, and more connected neighborhoods; and Whereas, Article I, Section 3, and Article VII, Section 1 of the North Carolina Constitution authorize the General Assembly to regulate public safety measures; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

Whereas, children in North Carolina are facing unprecedented threats to their safety, privacy, education, and overall well-being, requiring a bold policy response to protect them from economic insecurity, digital exploitation, harmful substances, and violence; and Whereas, the cost of raising children has skyrocketed, with child care, housing, healthcare, and education expenses outpacing wages, forcing many families to make impossible financial choices and pushing parents—especially mothers—out of the workforce; and Whereas, predatory social media platforms and digital corporations are deliberately targeting children with addictive algorithms, manipulative content, and intrusive data collection, exposing them to mental health crises, identity theft, and exploitation without parental consent or oversight; and Whereas, children are being tracked, monetized, and manipulated online, leading to increased rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and social isolation, creating the urgent need for strict digital privacy protections, algorithm regulations, and a ban on data mining of minors; and Whereas, youth vaping, cannabis exposure, and synthetic drug use have surged, with over one-third of North Carolina high school students reporting vape use, and an increasing number of elementary-aged children being introduced to nicotine, THC derivatives, and other substances especially harmful to children; and Whereas, firearm-related deaths among children have more than doubled since 2013, with over seventy-nine percent (79%) of guns found on school campuses originating from improperly stored firearms, making safe storage laws and firearm safety education a critical public health necessity; and Whereas, youth homelessness is rising at alarming rates, with more than 28,000 students statewide experiencing housing instability, making it nearly impossible for these children to focus on their education, well-being, and future career paths; and Whereas, childhood food insecurity remains a crisis, with more than twenty percent (20%) of North Carolina children living in households that cannot afford sufficient nutrition, leading to lifelong negative health outcomes and academic struggles; and Whereas, violent crime and exploitation targeting children are on the rise, with human traffickers, gangs, and online predators increasingly preying on minors, requiring stronger law enforcement collaboration and parental empowerment to protect our children; and Whereas, every dollar invested in early childhood development, education, and safety yields an estimated seven-dollar ($7.00) return in long-term economic benefits, including higher graduation rates, increased workforce productivity, and lower crime rates, proving that protecting children is not just a moral obligation but an economic necessity; and Whereas, North Carolina has an opportunity to be a national leader in child safety, privacy protections, and family empowerment, ensuring that our State prioritizes parental rights, safeguards children from corporate and government overreach, and builds a future where every child can thrive; 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 |

| S438 | 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 |
| S464 | Inmate Medicaid Suspension/Team-Based Care | AN ACT TO REQUIRE TEAM-BASED CARE COORDINATION IN MEDICAID SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND MODIFY THE MEDICAID PROGRAM TO SUSPEND RATHER THAN TERMINATE MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY FOR INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS. | In Committee |

| S467 | 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 |

Whereas, one in eight North Carolina Schools are chronically low-performing; and Whereas, approximately 14,400 students are stuck in chronically low-performing charter schools; and Whereas, low-performing charters are a threat to the reputation of all charter schools; and Whereas, chronically low-performing schools trap students in an environment that has shown itself incapable of meeting their academic needs; Now, therefore, | In Committee |

| S382 | Mental Health Protection Act | AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF MINORS AND ADULTS WHO HAVE DISABILITIES FROM ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, AND GENDER EXPRESSION. Whereas, contemporary science recognizes that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender is part of the natural spectrum of human identity and is not a disease, disorder, or illness; and Whereas, the American Psychological Association convened a Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation (Task Force). The Task Force conducted a systemic review of peer-reviewed journal literature on sexual orientation change efforts and issued a report on those efforts in 2009. The Task Force concluded that sexual orientation change efforts can pose critical health risks to lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, including confusion, depression, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, shame, social withdrawal, suicidality, substance abuse, stress, disappointment, self-blame, decreased self-esteem and authenticity to others, increased self-hatred, hostility and blame toward parents, feelings of anger and betrayal, loss of friends and potential romantic partners, problems in sexual and emotional intimacy, sexual dysfunction, high-risk sexual behaviors, a feeling of being dehumanized and untrue to self, a loss of faith, and a sense of having wasted time and resources; and Whereas, in 2009, the American Psychological Association issued a resolution on Appropriate Affirmative Responses to Sexual Orientation Distress and Change Efforts, stating: "[T]he [American Psychological Association] advises parents, guardians, young people, and their families to avoid sexual orientation change efforts that portray homosexuality as a mental illness or developmental disorder and to seek psychotherapy, social support, and educational services that provide accurate information on sexual orientation and sexuality, increase family and school support, and reduce rejection of sexual minority youth."; and Whereas, the American Psychiatric Association published a position statement in March of 2000 in which it stated the following: "Psychotherapeutic modalities to convert or 'repair' homosexuality are based on developmental theories whose scientific validity is questionable. Furthermore, anecdotal reports of 'cures' are counterbalanced by anecdotal claims of psychological harm. In the last four decades, 'reparative' therapists have not produced any rigorous scientific research to substantiate their claims of cure. Until there is such research available, [the American Psychiatric Association] recommends that ethical practitioners refrain from attempts to change individuals' sexual orientation, keeping in mind the medical dictum to first, do no harm." "The potential risks of reparative therapy are great, including depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior, since therapist alignment with societal prejudices against homosexuality may reinforce self-hatred already experienced by the patient. Many patients who have undergone reparative therapy relate that they were inaccurately told that homosexuals are lonely, unhappy individuals who never achieve acceptance or satisfaction. The possibility that the person might achieve happiness and satisfying interpersonal relationships as a gay man or lesbian is not presented, nor are alternative approaches to dealing with the effects of societal stigmatization discussed." "Therefore, the American Psychiatric Association opposes any psychiatric treatment such as reparative or conversion therapy which is based upon the assumption that homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or based upon the a priori assumption that a patient should change his or her sexual homosexual orientation."; and Whereas, in 2013, the American Psychiatric Association expanded on that position, stating: "The American Psychiatric Association does not believe that same-sex orientation should or needs to be changed, and efforts to do so represent a significant risk of harm by subjecting individuals to forms of treatment which have not been scientifically validated and by undermining self-esteem when sexual orientation fails to change. No credible evidence exists that any mental health intervention can reliably and safely change sexual orientation; nor, from a mental health perspective does sexual orientation need to be changed."; and Whereas, in 1993, the American Academy of Pediatrics published an article in its journal, Pediatrics, stating: "Therapy directed at specifically changing sexual orientation is contraindicated, since it can provoke guilt and anxiety while having little or no potential for achieving changes in orientation."; and Whereas, in 1994, the American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs prepared a report, stating: "Aversion therapy (a behavioral or medical intervention which pairs unwanted behavior, in this case, homosexual behavior, with unpleasant sensations or aversive consequences) is no longer recommended for gay men and lesbians. Through psychotherapy, gay men and lesbians can become comfortable with their sexual orientation and understand the societal response to it."; and Whereas, the National Association of Social Workers prepared a 1997 policy statement, stating: "Social stigmatization of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people is widespread and is a primary motivating factor in leading some people to seek sexual orientation changes. Sexual orientation conversion therapies assume that homosexual orientation is both pathological and freely chosen. No data demonstrates that reparative or conversion therapies are effective, and, in fact, they may be harmful."; and Whereas, the American Counseling Association Governing Council issued a position statement in April of 1999, stating: "We oppose 'the promotion of "reparative therapy" as a "cure" for individuals who are homosexual.'"; and Whereas, in 2014, the American School Counselor Association issued a position statement, stating: "It is not the role of the professional school counselor to attempt to change a student's sexual orientation or gender identity. Professional school counselors do not support efforts by licensed mental health professionals to change a student's sexual orientation or gender as these practices have been proven ineffective and harmful."; and Whereas, the American Psychoanalytic Association issued a position statement in June 2012 on attempts to change sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, stating: "As with any societal prejudice, bias against individuals based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression negatively affect mental health, contributing to an enduring sense of stigma and pervasive self-criticism through the internalization of such prejudice." The American Psychoanalytic Association further stated: "Psychoanalytic technique does not encompass purposeful attempts to 'convert,' 'repair,' change or shift an individual's sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Such directed efforts are against fundamental principles of psychoanalytic treatment and often result in substantial psychological pain by reinforcing damaging internalized attitudes."; and Whereas, in 2012, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry published an article in its journal, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, stating: "Clinicians should be aware that there is no evidence that sexual orientation can be altered through therapy, and that attempts to do so may be harmful. There is no empirical evidence adult homosexuality can be prevented if gender nonconforming children are influenced to be more gender conforming. Indeed, there is no medically valid basis for attempting to prevent homosexuality, which is not an illness. On the contrary, such efforts may encourage family rejection and undermine self-esteem, connectedness and caring, important protective factors against suicidal ideation and attempts. Given that there is no evidence that efforts to alter sexual orientation are effective, beneficial or necessary, and the possibility that they carry the risk of significant harm, such interventions are contraindicated."; and Whereas, in 2012, the Pan American Health Organization, a regional office of the World Health Organization, issued a statement, stating: "These supposed conversion therapies constitute a violation of the ethical principles of health care and violate human rights that are protected by international and regional agreements." The organization also noted that reparative therapies "lack medical justification and represent a serious threat to the health and well-being of affected people."; and Whereas, in 2014, the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) issued a statement, stating: "[S]ame sex orientation is not a mental disorder and we oppose any 'reparative' or conversion therapy that seeks to 'change' or 'fix' a person's sexual orientation. AASECT does not believe that sexual orientation is something that needs to be 'fixed' or 'changed.' The rationale behind this position is the following: Reparative therapy (for minors, in particular) is often forced or nonconsensual. Reparative therapy has been proven harmful to minors. There is no scientific evidence supporting the success of these interventions. Reparative therapy is grounded in the idea that non-heterosexual orientation is 'disordered.' Reparative therapy has been shown to be a negative predictor of psychotherapeutic benefit."; and Whereas, in 2015, the American College of Physicians issued a position paper, stating: "The College opposes the use of 'conversion,' 'reorientation,' or 'reparative' therapy for the treatment of LGBT persons…Available research does not support the use of reparative therapy as an effective method in the treatment of LGBT persons. Evidence shows that the practice may actually cause emotional or physical harm to LGBT individuals, particularly adolescents or young persons."; and Whereas, minors who experience family rejection based on their sexual orientation face especially serious health risks. In one study, lesbian, gay, and bisexual young adults who reported higher levels of family rejection during adolescence were 8.4 times more likely to report having attempted suicide, 5.9 times more likely to report high levels of depression, 3.4 times more likely to use illegal drugs, and 3.4 times more likely to report having engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse compared with peers from families that reported no or low levels of family rejection. This is documented by Caitlin Ryan, et al., in their article entitled "Family Rejection as a Predictor of Negative Health Outcomes in White and Latino Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Young Adults" (2009) 123 Pediatrics 346; and Whereas, a 2018 study by the Family Acceptance Project found the following: "Rates of attempted suicide by LGBT young people whose parents tried to change their sexual orientation were more than double (48%) the rate of LGBT young adults who reported no conversion experiences (22%). Suicide attempts nearly tripled for LGBT young people who reported both home-based efforts to change their sexual orientation by parents and intervention efforts by therapists and religious leaders (63%)." "High levels of depression more than doubled (33%) for young people whose parents tried to change their sexual orientation compared with those who reported no conversion experiences (16%), and more than tripled (52%) for LGBT young people who reported both home-based efforts to change their sexual orientation by parents and external sexual orientation change efforts by therapists and religious leaders." "Sexual orientation change experiences during adolescence by both parents and caregivers and externally by therapists and religious leaders were associated with lower young adult socioeconomic status, less educational attainment, and lower weekly income."; and Whereas, North Carolina has a compelling interest in protecting the physical and psychological well-being of minors, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, and in protecting its minors against exposure to serious harms caused by conversion therapy; Now, therefore, | In Committee |
