Merchants oppose North Carolina consumer protection bill
Merchants warn the proposed consumer protection bill would raise costs and restrict credit. North Carolina legislators hear testimony from four business groups opposing the measure sponsored by Rep.

The Banking Committee resumes hearings next week before final subcommittee action.
