Public Laws of North Carolina

Public Laws of North Carolina are officially enacted statutes passed by the state’s General Assembly and signed by the governor. They serve as the formal written laws that govern various aspects of life, such as safety, education, and commerce. Once passed, they are numbered and organized sequentially within each legislative session. These laws have broad, lasting effects on residents and entities within North Carolina and can be amended or repealed over time. Essentially, Public Laws translate legislative decisions into enforceable rules that help regulate and improve state functioning.
