North Carolina Legislative Study Committees
Under legislative rules, bills from these committees are introduced in the session that follows the General Assembly break between sessions. Copies of studies and recommended legislation can be found in the Legislative Library in the Legislative Office Building. You may also request a copy of specific studies from T. Jerry.
Note: A study may be proposed and subsequently enacted through a studies bill but never acted upon because of a lack of advocacy. This does happen in the North Carolina General Assembly. Without a nudge by the House or Senate leadership, often proposed legislation recommended in a study can fall by the wayside. Having a government relations professional working for you at that point can be most productive in making sure the study takes place or, in some instances, preventing it from taking place or getting the study amended.
Remember, even when the North Carolina General Assembly is not in session, if study or interim committees are meeting, the legislative process is still active and should be monitored. Joint Transportation studies are one example. Let T. Jerry monitor such activities on your behalf between sessions. His rates are reasonable, and his successes are significant.
Call (919) 649-5941 or email T. Jerry at tjw@tjwlc.com.
