Cooper vetoes bill over death investigation records change
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a broad health measure that would keep death investigation records confidential when handed to the state medical examiner. Protests outside the Executive Mansion accompanied the veto as demonstrators urged greater transparency and racial justice after Floyd's death. The veto leaves most of the bill intact while seeking repeal of the records provision. Cooper said the clause risks reducing transparency in death investigations and urged the General Assembly to repeal it, while other parts of the bill related to DHHS funding and face coverings remain in effect. The House planned a Tuesday vote, with potential veto overrides before a two month adjournment.
