Status of NC Legislation of Special Interest to Aging Advocates
The North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services wants you to be informed and involved. Consequently, they regularly provide a legislative update on issues related to aging and/or aging interests so that seniors and other interested parties can learn about the legislation and can participate in advocacy efforts, as desired. Below is a listing of these bills and an indication of where they are in the legislative process. For more information on any of these bills, visit the North Carolina General Assembly website.
Please Note: Legislation may be introduced in one session, not get passed, and be re-introduced in another session. At that time, it may receive a new assigned number.
