New North Carolina laws may raise auto insurance and tax credits
The 1977 North Carolina legislature expanded auto insurance rate action by allowing insurers to raise premiums up to six percent this year and six percent next year after hearings. It also widens tax exemptions for elderly and disabled residents, boosts inheritance exemptions, offers home tax credits for solar heating and insulation, restricts security deposits, requires landlord repairs, and lowers or changes credit card merchant fees. The package includes a strong consumer protection law targeting debt collectors with fines up to five thousand dollars.
