NC Justice Center 2024 Legislative Agenda and Update

The North Carolina Justice Center is pleased to present our 2024 Legislative Agenda, unpacking the opportunities the 2024 legislative session presents for the General Assembly to reconsider our state’s budget and tax plan and take important actions to ensure all North Carolinians have an opportunity to share in prosperity.  

This agenda reflects policy choices that will expand access to robust public educational opportunities, meaningful work opportunities, and critical safety net supports to insulate households and local economies against a potential downturn. Our recommendations seek to strengthen consumer protections, safeguard the dignity of all North Carolinians, and ensure stability for the years ahead.
