Venus Flytrap Plate Greenlit: Funds to Support Conservation

[UNC EDU] North Carolina has approved a special license plate honoring the Venus flytrap, a native carnivorous plant. After years of effort by the N.C. Botanical Garden Foundation, the plate was authorized and will support conservation and research. The $30 annual fee includes a $20 donation to the foundation. This approval came after overcoming Senate opposition, with the plate being part of a larger DMV-related bill.

Gov. Cooper Vetoes Building Code and Digital Currency Bills

[NC Newsline] Governor Roy Cooper vetoed two bills on Friday. Senate Bill 166 aimed to change building codes, limiting stakeholder input and potential cost-saving measures. House Bill 690 proposed banning state payments using central bank digital currencies. Cooper argued the building code bill reduced essential expertise and that the digital currency bill was premature without federal guidance.
