Appropriations and Revenue Bills Reported for Monday
The North Carolina House was told it cannot receive the 1935 37 money-spending bill before next week as local legislation flooded the session. An amending measure to the slot machine law allows possession until May 1, after which all forms of slot activity are barred. Rep Bryant said the appropriations bill is nearly ready but may require more revenue than the current bill can raise. The joint committee will meet Monday to present the bill, while Republicans discuss absentee voting and the sales tax.
