Legislative Wrap Up
2019 Long Session Roy Cooper, Governor
Erik A. Hooks, Secretary
The 2019 Legislative Session, which began on January 9, 2019, finally came to an end 310 days later on
November 15, 2019. Lawmakers remained in session for an unusually long period as a result of a deadlock
on the state budget, disagreement over Medicaid expansion and transformation, and the redrawing of
legislative and congressional district maps, among other issues. This session, 1,733 bills were introduced;
however, only 287 bills were presented to the Governor for his signature.
Below are highlights from this session.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Legislative Affairs Director Susanna Davis at
919-825-2717 or [email protected].
Budget Highlights
Although the House voted to override Governor Cooper’s veto of House Bill 966, 2019 Appropriations
Act, the Senate did not hold a similar vote this session. The General Assembly will reconvene, however,
on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, and many speculate that the Senate will attempt to override the Governor’s
veto at that time. Despite the impasse, a number of mini-budget bills passed this session to address various
agencies’ needs. Those mini-budgets impacting DPS are listed below:

and shall govern appropriations and expenditures.”
