North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper Signs Range of Bills Including Vaping Registry and DMV Updates

Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina made significant legislative moves by signing four bills into law and vetoing two others just before his participation in a virtual meeting of Democratic governors at the White House. Among the bills signed, notable changes include the establishment of a registry for vaping products, updates to transportation regulations including digital driver's licenses and enhanced penalties for littering, and provisions in the Farm Act for agricultural exemptions and tax credits for land conservation.

However, Governor Cooper vetoed a bill concerning title certification for certain vehicles and another affecting landlord regulations, citing concerns about road safety and tenant protections. Despite the legislative adjournment, there's anticipation of further actions, including potential veto overrides by Republican supermajorities in the state legislature, with a reconvening date set for July 10.

Governor Cooper's actions come amidst his recent endorsement of President Biden and discussions within the Democratic Party following critical feedback post-debate. Cooper emphasized Biden's importance in the upcoming election during a recent rally in Raleigh, underscoring North Carolina's pivotal role in national politics.
