• Senate Bill 553: Regulatory Reform Act of 2019

Gov. Cooper shared the following comment on Senate Bill 553:

"Provisions in the legislation allowing trash receptacles in exit corridors could pose a fire safety risk for residents and emergency responders. Also, this legislation could allow septic system permits to be issued that circumvent state septic system rules which can hurt public health and threaten clean water. Both of these provisions threaten public health and safety."
