North Carolina passed a law requiring supermajorities to approve costly new regulations, sparking debate over economic impact versus environmental protection.
North Carolina has passed H.B.
402, a law restricting the executive branch’s ability to create regulations by requiring a two-thirds majority for rules costing $1 million over five years and unanimous approval for those costing $10 million.
Supporters say it prevents excessive or outdated rules from harming the economy, noting the state’s 109,000 existing regulations may increase costs and reduce jobs.
Critics warn the law could block vital environmental protections, especially those needed to safeguard water quality from harmful chemicals.
