Two death penalty-related bills have passed the N.C. House just in time to meet the crossover deadline, by which bills must be sent from one chamber to the other if they are to have any chance of becoming law this session.
The North Carolina Racial Justice Act passed this afternoon by a vote of 68 to 51.
The Proportionality Review bill also passed, but with an amendment.
It’s not clear what the amendment was, but you can read more about both bills generally here.
