A states legal climate can be a major inducement or a major deterrent to business investment, growth, and job creation.

House Bill 542 makes important, balanced changes to NCs civil liability system to provide fairness, predictability, and encourage job creation.
RALEIGH -- Everywhere taxpayers turn they find a sea of red ink: in Washington, D.C., in Raleigh and in local governments throughout the state.
House Bill 129, sponsored by Rep. Marilyn Avila, R-Wake County, has passed both the state House and Senate by large bi-partisan majorities. The new law puts certain requirements on local governments endeavoring to invest taxpayer funds in publicly owned communications networks. These networks often duplicate services that are already provided by private sector communications companies, without abiding by the same regulations and taxes.
The North Carolina General Assembly will be debating an important bill that will create jobs by expanding credit options for North Carolina business and families.
Large banks and groups such the A.A.R.P, N.A.A.C.P, and the AFL-CIO oppose this common-sense legislation so they can limit consumer options to their OWN high interest fee, high late fee, credit cards.
The Consumer Finance Act (H810) seeks to update a 28-year-old law governing consumer loans in North Carolina by providing more flexibility for borrowers and lenders. Consumer finance lenders serve an important gap in the financial sector by providing lending options to North Carolinas underserved middle class. The average consumer finance loan borrower in North Carolina has an annual income of $55,000-$75,000.
