Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Gut-and-amend tactic in North Carolina legislature allows lawmakers to drastically alter bills, often without public input. This practice, used for decades by both parties, was recently seen when a floodplain rebuilding bill was transformed into a provision eliminating a carbon emissions deadline for Duke Energy. This lack of transparency and public review makes it difficult for citizens to track legislation and hold officials accountable.
