This week, the North Carolina General Assembly convened to consider several different issues, including overriding Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of HB 10—Require ICE Cooperation & Budget Adjustments, which includes additional funding for North Carolina’s Opportunity Scholarship school choice program.
The State House met on Tuesday afternoon and voted to override Governor Cooper’s veto by a vote of 72-44 in a bipartisan vote. The bill then went to the State Senate, where on Wednesday, that chamber voted 30-19 to override the veto and make the bill the law of North Carolina.
This provision will help give more families who want to participate in education freedom the financial means to choose the educational environment that best meets the needs of their children.
NC Family is one of a number of organizations that strongly advocated for the passage of this important legislation, and we are grateful that the North Carolina General Assembly took the initiative to override Governor Cooper’s veto of HB 10.
