Today, Attorney General Josh Stein released the following statement announcing legal action challenging Senate Bill 382, the legislature’s blatant power grab:
“Today, Governor Cooper and I have taken legal action to stop the legislature’s unconstitutional and dangerous power grab. This law threatens public safety, fractures the chain of command during a crisis, and thwarts the will of voters. Our people deserve better than a power-hungry legislature that puts political games ahead of public safety.”
A copy of the complaint is available here.
