The 1971 North Carolina General Assembly sat 190 days and sent 2,586 bills and resolutions to the table at a cost exceeding 2.5 million dollars. Gov. Bob Scott spoke seven times as session reforms and new consumer protections emerged, while alcohol laws, voting rights for 18 to 21 year olds, and liquor by the drink debates marked a shifting attitude. The report faults inefficient organization and calls for executive branch reorganization into 17 divisions to streamline state government.
