What could be one of the final weeks of the 2016 session is off to a busy start. While no committee meetings are scheduled for Monday, both chambers will take up substantive legislation during their Monday night meetings - something that hasn't always been the case this session.
Posted — UpdatedWhat could be one of the final weeks of the 2016 session is off to a busy start. While no committee meetings are scheduled for Monday, both chambers will take up substantive legislation during their Monday night meetings – something that hasn't always been the case this session.
The House meets at 7 p.m. Its calendar includes a resolution pledging to uphold the Bill of Rights, a proposal to waive the fee for an ID card for people with disabilities and a measure that would grant a member of the U.S. Supreme Court or any U.S. Court of Appeals the authority to marry a couple in North Carolina over the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. While no particular justice or judge has been named for security reasons, background sources say a member of the Supreme Court will be in the state over the weekend to perform the marriage of a former clerk.
The state chapter of the NAACP and the "Moral Monday" movement will hold a rally at the Legislative Building honoring the Orlando, Fla., shooting victims and the anniversary of the Charleston, S.C., shooting. That rally is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
