A North Carolina House bill would eliminate local sales taxes on groceries, while a Senate committee has revived a stalled bill regulating social media use for minors, signaling renewed focus on cost-of-living and online safety issues. Lawmakers are also debating Senate Bill 889, which would delay property reappraisals rather than raise taxes, as part of ongoing discussions about tax burdens. At the national level, a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a Louisiana redistricting case could carry implications for North Carolina’s own maps.
