The bills featured in CPAC’s 2022 Ratings of North Carolina address Second Amendment rights, parental rights, burdensome environmental restrictions, and taxes. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and uphold the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the North Carolina legislature.
