Reports (4)
  • Status is not correct "The bill was blocked by governor cooper and is not part of NC law."
  • Status is not correct "The bill this is referring to, H.B. 755, was passed in the Senate but not the House. The house may choose to pass it, but it has currently been in committee since June 2022 without being voted on. It is inaccurate to say there is state-enforced censorship, since that bill has not become law and is not in effect. "
  • Status is not correct "[Resubmitted under correct reason for reporting; wrong selection made originally] This bill cited here (HB755) passed in the Senate, but was not passed by the House nor reached the Governor's desk. Therefore, it is not, and has never been, the law in North Carolina, and the information as stated here has never been correct. https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookup/2021/H755"
  • Newer law has been passed "This bill cited here (HB 755) passed in the Senate, but was not passed by the House nor reached the Governor's desk. Therefore, it is not, and has never been, the law in North Carolina, and the information as stated stated here has always been wrong. https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookup/2021/H755"
