Regulatory Reform Act of 2026

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill makes several changes to North Carolina law. It requires administrative law judges and courts to use "de novo" review when interpreting state rules and regulations, meaning they will interpret the rules without deferring to the agency's interpretation. The bill also removes deadlines for adopting rules related to educator preparation programs and prohibits property restrictions on displaying the American and North Carolina flags. Finally, it updates the definition of "manufactured home" in various statutes to align with the federal definition.
