Bill
SB 213
SB 213 is a local act limited to North Carolina's 42nd Senate District; the current text has no policy provisions, so no immediate impact until amendments add substance.

What the bill does (plain language)
- SB 213, as provided in the materials, is a local act that explicitly applies only to North Carolina’s 42nd Senatorial District.
- The text available in the filing is extremely short and contains no substantive policy provisions beyond the jurisdictional/territorial clause: “This act relates only to the 42nd Senatorial District.”
- In short: as filed and in the version provided, SB 213 is a local/placeholder bill without additional operative text describing changes in law, programs, or administration.
Key provisions (based on the available text)
- Limitation of applicability: the bill is limited to the 42nd Senatorial District.
- Effective timing: becomes effective upon becoming law.
- No other statutory changes, definitions, duties, or funding items appear in the provided bill language.
Who would be affected
- Because the bill is expressly limited to the 42nd Senatorial District, any future substantive provisions in this bill would affect residents, local governments, agencies, or entities located within that district (Mecklenburg County).
- As currently drafted, with no operative policy text, there is no immediate change to any persons, entities, or programs.
Procedural notes and next steps
- The bill was filed in late 2024 and recorded as having passed its first reading in the Senate (March 3, 2025) and was referred to the Senate Rules & Operations committee. Local acts commonly are used to address district‑specific matters (e.g., administrative, governance, tax or land use issues) and are often amended in committee or on the floor.
- Because the public text supplied contains no substantive provisions, monitor committee reports, amendments, and later versions for any added language that would create policy effects. Key places to check: the North Carolina General Assembly website (bill status page), committee dockets (Rules & Operations; any later referral), and sponsor communications.
- If you represent an affected interest (constituents, local government, business or nonprofit in Mecklenburg), consider contacting Senator Bradley’s office or the Rules committee staff for updates and to request copies of any amendments or committee reports as they are filed.
Bottom line
- SB 213 is a local North Carolina Senate bill confined to the 42nd Senatorial District. The version provided contains no substantive provisions beyond that territorial limitation. Its potential impact therefore cannot be assessed until substantive language (amendments or committee substitutes) is added. Monitor forthcoming committee actions and amendments for any material content.
