With bipartisan support, the House voted 73 – 46 to override the veto of Governor Bev Perdue. The House and Senate achieved this historic milestone on June 15, 2011.
This fulfills our first two promises to the people of North Carolina: A balanced budget and a budget that does not raise tax rates. Our budget contains the largest tax rate cut in the history of North Carolina. It makes our state more competitive with our neighbors again. It puts almost $1.5 billion back in to the hands of hard working North Carolinians. It is balanced. The business school at UNC Chapel Hill estimates that the Republican budget will create up to 14,900 new private sector jobs in North Carolina.

2. Protect Health Care Freedom Act

HB 2, protects North Carolinians from the “individual mandate” in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), passed the House and Senate and was sent to the Governor. She Vetoed the bill. Republican leaders filed an Amicus Curiae (Friend of the Court) brief on May 11, 2011 to the 11^th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia. The Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 in favor of the states.

3. North Carolina is a Right-to-Work state. Republicans will continue to support laws that secure the right of employees to decide for themselves whether or not to join a union. We will stop any legislation that allows collective bargaining.

4. Reducing regulatory burden on small business.

Both House and Senate members have proposed legislation to limit the financial burden of regulation on businesses.

Senate Bill 22 – An act to limit new agency regulatory requirements that result in substantial additional costs. SB 22 passed both chambers and was signed into law by the Governor on March 25, 2011.
House Bill 162 – An act to exempt certain activities related to small-scale processing of agricultural products from wastewater permit requirements. The bill passed the House and Senate and was signed by the Governor on April 19, 2011.
House Bill 200 – The Appropriations Act of 2011 limits the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Labor and Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services from imposing standards or limitations that are more restrictive than the Federal government.

5. The balanced budget passed by the House and Senate fully funds the teachers in the classroom, not the bureaucracy.

6. Senate Bill 8 entitled, “No Cap on Number of Charter Schools” passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support and has been signed by the Governor. The bill became law on June 17, 2011.

7. HB 351, titled “Restore Confidence in Government” requires voters to provide photo ID before voting and allows more flexibility when applying for absentee ballots. HB 351 was ratified by the House and Senate but vetoed by the Governor on June 23, 2011. The House was unable to override the Governor’s veto but because of a parliamentary procedure it is eligible for reconsideration.

8. The House and Senate have each introduced bills proposing a Constitutional Amendment that will protect private property rights. House Bill 8 titled, “Eminent Domain” passed the full House on a vote of 98 to 18 and now moves to the Senate.

9. HB 139 entitled, “Limit Contributions by State Vendors” discourages pay-to-play politics in North Carolina. The bill seeks to limit the campaign contributions of state vendors to Council of State offices with which they hold contracts. HB 139 passed the House on May 24^th and has been sent to the Senate.

North Carolina House of Representatives

100 Day Legislative Update

April 25, 2011

Budget Priorities

On April 14, 2011 the House and Senate passed HB 383, a continuing resolution budget, without raising tax rates. The measure allows the Governor to allocate funds for spending by State departments at a level that basically does not exceed expected revenues for the 2011-2012 fiscal years in case the House, Senate and Governor do not agree on a formal budget. On Saturday April 16, 2011, the Governor VETOED this measure so that she can demand tax rate increases.

Protect Health Care Freedom Act

HB 2, protects North Carolinians from the “individual mandate” in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), passed the House and Senate and was sent to the Governor. She Vetoed the bill. Republican leaders will submit an Amicus Curiae (Friend of the Court) brief to the 11^th Circuit Court of Appeals.

North Carolina is a Right-to-Work state. Republicans will continue to support laws that secure the right of employees to decide for themselves whether or not to join a union. We will stop SB 386.

Reducing regulatory burden on small business.

Both House and Senate members have proposed legislation to limit the financial burden of regulation on businesses.

Senate Bill 22 – An act to limit new agency regulatory requirements that result in substantial additional costs. SB 22 passed both the Senate and House and was signed into law by the Governor on March 25, 2011.

House Bill 162 – An act to exempt certain activities related to small-scale processing of agricultural products from wastewater permit requirements. The bill passed the House and Senate and was ratified by the House on April 14, 2011.

House Bill 237 – An act to require economic impact statements on all bills that propose regulatory changes. The bill passed first reading of the House and is before the Committee on Commerce and Job Development.

House Bill 323 – An act to reduce the corporate income tax rate in North Carolina from 6.9% to 4.75%. HB 323 will be considered as part of the budget.

House Bill 800 – An act to create the North Carolina Jobs and Commerce Corporation Task Force to study the implementation of the transferring of economic development activities into a single entity is now before the House Committee on Commerce and Job Development.

The Joint Select Committee on Regulatory Reform held six meetings across the state beginning in Wilmington on March 11th. They heard suggestions from the public concerning burdensome regulations on individuals and business. The last meeting was held on Thursday, April 21^st in Raleigh, NC.

Senate Bill 8 entitled, “No Cap on Number of Charter Schools” passed the House on Monday evening, by a vote of 68 – 51. SB 8 received unanimous support from House Republicans and one courageous Democrat. Charter school legislation now heads to conference with the Senate. Representatives Stam, Samuelson and Brandon are House conferees to work with Senators Stevens, Graham and Soucek.

House Election Law Committee has held several committee meetings on HB 351, titled “Restore Confidence in Government.” The bill would require voters to provide photo ID before voting and allow more flexibility when applying for absentee ballots. HB 351 passed the Election Law committee and is now before the House Appropriations Committee.

The House and Senate have each introduced bills proposing a Constitutional Amendment that will protect private property rights. House Bill 8 titled, “Eminent Domain” passed the full House Judiciary committee. Debate on House Bill 8 has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 26^th around 2:00 pm. Come watch or listen.

House Republicans moved one step closer to good government by passing House Bill 61 titled, “Speaker/Pro Tem Term Limits.” This constitutional amendment seeks to cap the number of consecutive legislative terms the Speaker or President Pro Tem of the Senate serves to no more than two. It passed 72 – 46, the bare minimum and now moves to the Senate. The Governor cannot veto a constitutional amendment.

House Republicans introduced HB 139 entitled, “Limit Contributions by State Vendors” as a measure to discourage pay-to-play politics in North Carolina. The bill seeks to limit the campaign contributions of state vendors to Council of State offices with which they hold contracts. HB 139 passed through Elections Committee on Wednesday and is headed to the floor.

Voucher Confusion Redux: A response to the NCAE

Paul Stam, NC House Republican Leader — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 22:28:09 +0000

Voucher confusion is back – only this time it is being promulgated by the Department of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE).

Recently, Chair Harrison and Superintendent Atkinson referred to the credits in House Bill 41 – Tax Fairness in Education – as “vouchers” when they are not. They either misunderstand the term or they are attempting to fool you. This bill provides tax credits, not vouchers. Furthermore, the transaction would be exclusively between the Department of Revenue and the families – no funds would go to a private school. The private school would not even know that the parent receives the credit.

Now the North Carolina Association of Educators is calling the tax credits in House Bill 41 “vouchers”. This is simply not true. Nor is it true when they say that House Bill 41 is a move to pull support or funding from public schools. The fiscal note demonstrates that this bill will save the state and county governments about $51 million a year while leaving somewhat fewer students in the public schools. That means there is more money in the general fund per student than without the bill. They have the facts exactly backwards.

A voucher is like a check drawn from a bank and authorized to be used as a credit against a particular purchase or expense. Vouchers differ from tax credits in that vouchers are given directly to the provider of a service. Our State does offer voucher programs for private services through early childhood education (Smart Start) and higher education (Legislative Tuition Grants). Each of these voucher programs is supported by the NCAE.

A tax credit on the other hand is given to the parents as a matter of tax policy. For example, House Bill 41 allows a parent whose child is enrolled in public school to receive a $2,500 tax credit if they decide to enroll their child in private school. By taking their child out of the public school system, the parent will be able to receive a $2,500 tax credit after they file their annual taxes.

The Fiscal Research Division of the North Carolina General Assembly estimates that the number of students whose parents will be eligible for the tax credit is between 8,000 and 15,000 – statewide. We are not talking about a mass exodus of students from the public schools system.

So how does North Carolina save money by giving out tax credits? Here is an example. Jimmy is a 5^th grader in public school. The average cost to educate him in North Carolina is approximately $8,450 per year. House Bill 41 becomes a law and Jimmy’s parents decide to transfer him to private school to start the 6^th grade. Because Jimmy left the public school system, the State no longer has to pay approximately $8,450 a year to educate him. The cost to keep Jimmy in public school is three times greater than the tax credit Jimmy’s parents will receive.

The state is facing a $3 billion shortfall in this year’s budget. House Bill 41 has so much potential to improve the public education system by saving the state money while alleviating strain on the classroom and teacher. It has the potential to save the state and local governments $51 million dollars a year while providing a better experience for public school students.

HB 41 – Tax Fairness in Education: A Slide Show of Savings

Paul Stam, NC House Republican Leader — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:16:47 +0000

A Historic Day Will Lead to a Better North Carolina

Paul Stam, NC House Republican Leader — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:58:37 +0000

On November 2, 2010, voters sent a clear message. The number one issue in North Carolina is the economy – jobs, jobs, jobs. Years of overspending by Democrats have given North Carolina the highest tax rates in the Southeast and an estimated budget deficit of at least $3 billion for next year. High tax rates inhibit hiring.

Republican members of the House and Senate have united against legislation which limited our freedoms and stifled small business growth. Republican candidates across the state campaigned against excessive spending, tax rate increases and the job-killing, liberty-restricting mandates of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obama Care). And for the first time in 112 years, Republicans have gained majorities in both the state House and Senate.

The people of North Carolina have entrusted us with the responsibility to govern the State by reducing costs and regulation on business, large and small, so that they can create jobs and prosperity. Voters have spoken and Republicans are committed to:

Balancing the State budget without raising tax rates.

And within the first 100 days:

Passing The Healthcare Freedom Protection Act, exempting North Carolinians from the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obama Care).
Fighting to protect jobs by keeping our Right to Work laws.
Reducing the regulatory burden on small business.
Funding education in the classroom, not the bureaucracy.
Eliminating the cap on charter schools.
Passing the Honest Election Act, requiring a valid photo ID to vote.
Passing the Eminent Domain constitutional amendment to protect private property rights.
Ending pay-to-play politics and restore honesty and integrity to state government.

100 Days That Will Change North Carolina

Paul Stam, NC House Republican Leader — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 15:06:56 +0000

North Carolina’s state government must reduce costs and regulation on business, large and small, so that they can create jobs and prosperity.

If the people of North Carolina entrust Republicans with a majority in the General Assembly on November 2, 2010, we commit to govern the State by focusing on these priorities:

Years of overspending by Democrats have given North Carolina the highest tax rates in the Southeast and a budget deficit of at least $3 billion; we will balance the State budget without raising tax rates.
High taxes are killing jobs. We will make our tax rates competitive with other states.

Within the first 100 days you will see us:

Passing The Healthcare Freedom Protection Act, exempting North Carolinians from the job-killing, liberty-restricting mandates of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obama Care).
Fighting to protect jobs by keeping our Right to Work laws.
Reducing the regulatory burden on small business.
Funding education in the classroom, not the bureaucracy.
Eliminating the cap on charter schools.
Passing the Honest Election Act, requiring a valid photo ID to vote.
Passing the Eminent Domain constitutional amendment to protect private property rights.
Ending pay-to-play politics and restore honesty and integrity to state government.
