Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill, titled the "Economic Security Act," proposes significant changes to labor laws in North Carolina. It aims to increase the state minimum wage to $22 per hour, mandate equal pay for equal work, and require paid sick leave and paid family medical leave. The act also seeks to restore unemployment insurance benefits, end wage theft, and repeal restrictions on public employee collective bargaining. Additionally, it would reenact tax credits for earned income and child care expenses, create a presumption for first responders and essential workers contracting COVID-19, and provide cost-of-living adjustments for certain retirees.
