Recently lowered revenue projections for North Carolina are making some state legislators think more carefully about how to pay to cover the new high demand for K-12 private school scholarships. The Senate passed earlier this month a measure that would set aside $463 million more for now for the Opportunity Scholarship program. The bill would need one more House vote to go to Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk. But House Speaker Tim Moore told reporters Wednesday that his chamber is looking at alternate sources of money to cover the demand in part because of a revenue forecast downgrade late last week. Cooper opposes the scholarship program and its expansion.
More youths accused of serious crimes in North Carolina would be automatically tried in adult court in legislation that advanced through the state Senate. The measure approved Wednesday reworks some of the bipartisan juvenile justice reforms that ended in late 2019 the mandate that 16- and 17-year-olds be tried in the adult criminal justice system. The bill’s chief proponent says the changes will ease backed-up juvenile court caseloads for prosecutors by putting matters that ultimately will end up in adult Superior Court immediately there instead. Some critics fear this is a step toward dismantling the “Raise the Age” reforms. The bill now heads to the House.
