The
Library has compiled a chart beginning with the 1965 session through 2018 that
shows convening and adjournment dates, bill introductions, ratifications, and
session length statistics for all regular and extra sessions.
Since
the 2018 NCGA session has not adjourned sine die yet, some of the chart totals
are not final. There will be at least
one more 2018 reconvened session on Tuesday, November 27, 2018. See HB 1101 - Adjourn 2018 Session to
November for more info.
You
can find this chart at our Library’s Research page under Historical Resources
or click here. Any questions… give us a call at 919-733-9390.

Why
Are You Here? A Primer for State
Legislators and Citizens
By Franklin
L. Kury
This handbook challenges state legislators and their
constituents to critically examine their state legislature and take appropriate
action to improve it. The author describes
the work and nature of legislatures and the role of their members as agents of
their districts. Acknowledging that many legislatures have fallen in public
esteem, Kury provides an analytical discussion for evaluating how any
legislature deals with major issues: private
benefits versus public service, compensation, the rise of the full-time
legislature, campaign contributions, lobbying, reapportionment of legislative
and Congressional districts, scandal and ethical questions.

North
Carolina Beyond the Connected Age: The
Tar Heel State in 2050
By Michael L. Walden
“For years, North Carolina has been one of the nation’s
fastest-growing states, bringing tremendous change to the state’s people,
industries, jobs, places, environment, and government. Much of this change
resulted from the information and technology revolution, which connected the
state more fully to the country and the world. But we are now moving beyond the
connected age, argues Michael L. Walden, to a new era of living, production,
and work, and North Carolina faces not only unanswered questions about the past
but also new challenges and opportunities visible on the horizon. What will these
new transformations mean for the state’s people, places, and prosperity?
In
this book, Walden lays out these looming economic issues and offers predictions
of future trends as well as multiple policy options for taxation,
infrastructure, and environmental issues. While the future cannot be perfectly
predicted, Walden’s expert analysis is mandatory reading for policy makers,
business leaders, and everyday people seeking to prepare for upcoming changes
in North Carolina’s economy.” -UNC
