 Best of luck to Connie Pixley who plans to retire on June 1, 2017 and to Stacy Shelp who <br />has resigned her position effective April 28, 2017 to accept a position with the United <br />Way. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bills of interest: <br /> <br />House Bill 66 - Carolina Cares. This bill is being led by Representatives Lambeth, <br />Murphy, Dobson and White. Rep. Lambeth (Forsyth) is the lead sponsor of the bill. This <br />bill will increase access to insurance for North Carolinians who are working but currently <br />do not have insurance. <br /> <br />Senate Bill 74 (Rabies bill) and Senate Bill 131 (Regulatory Reform Act of 2017). SB74 <br />passed Senate Rules committee with no discussion. Will likely survive the Senate and <br />head over to the House. Public health supports this bill in its current language. SB 131 is <br />on the Senate calendar for concurrence. The House and Senate worked together on <br />amendments made by the House. The expectation is the Senate will concur and the bill <br />will then go to the Governor for his signature. Changes were made as requested <br />eliminating additional work for local health departments regarding inspection of water <br />line. <br />
