North Carolina House Debates Drunk Driving and Age Bill
The North Carolina House approved a drunk driving bill imposing jail terms of 90 days for first offenses, 180 days for second, and 365 days for third or subsequent offenses. The chamber also sent to the Senate a tax exemption on nuclear fuel to lure a $20 million Gulf General plant in Franklin County. An amendment would let 18 year olds serve in the state House and Senate, with current ages 21 and 25. The Education Committee backed teacher appeal procedures, while the Conservation Committee advanced stricter pollution controls for rivers and lakes.

No-Fault Auto Insurance Vote Moves to Floor Fight
No-fault auto insurance backers failed to push a House vote before adjournment. Rep Mason’s motion to bring a Senate passable no-fault bill to a committee of the whole failed 56 to 60, short of 77 needed to suspend rules. Lawing said a floor passage is possible if the bill reaches the House. Arnold, subcommittee chair, warned the effort faces an uphill battle and will continue work without forcing a bill just to advance it.
