A state House bill passed Tuesday that would enable the town of Stokesdale to receive sales tax revenue of up to $400,000 total from Guilford County, Greensboro and other municipalities in the county. The bill now goes to the N.C. Senate for consideration. As a local bill, it is not subject to a governor's veto. The bill was defeated on the House floor by a 57-54 margin on May 7 with 14 Republicans voting no. However, the House subsequently voted 68-42 along party lines to reconsider the vote.

The General Assembly will require additional time to reach a compromise on bipartisan legislation that aims to lower some healthcare costs for North Carolinians while increasing pricing transparency from hospitals and providers. The state House rejected by a 113-1 vote Tuesday the Senate's version of House Bill 434. As a result, the bill is likely to be sent to a concurrence committee in attempt to reach a compromise on the legislation.
