AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Hemp Crackdown Watch: A Senate-backed bill to sharply limit intoxicating hemp products in North Carolina (including a 0.4 mg total THC-per-container cap) stalled in the House after GOP lawmakers raised concerns about scope and focused more on age-verification than the broader restrictions. Homelessness Policy: Gov. Josh Stein vetoed North Carolina’s homeless camping ban, calling it an unfunded mandate that could undermine treatment and shift enforcement costs onto local governments. Cash App Fraud Settlements: North Carolina AG Jeff Jackson announced a settlement with Block/Cash App over misleading safety claims and weak fraud protections, with nearly $1 million to the state as part of a broader $45 million multistate deal. Data Center Tax Shift: The new NC budget repealed a key sales tax exemption for electricity used by data centers, raising an estimated $21.4 million in 2026-27. Boating & Tourism Funding: NC is taking applications for boating infrastructure grants for projects supporting marinas and recreational boating; applications close Aug. 28. Workforce Boost: The state budget delivers major funding increases for community colleges, including $99 million for enrollment growth and recurring support tied to Propel NC.
