The Week In Review and Looking Forward into Next Week
![North Carolina State Seal](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/NCSBE/2015/08/576310/2041723/stateseal-gold_crop.jpg) This week, legislators have turned their attention towards local bills and constitutional amendments. Some constitutional amendments that may be put before voters include a 5.5% income tax cap, and changes to voter identification regulations. Two local bills relating to K-12 education have moved this week, and are discussed below.
During the coming week, some expect to see the short session come to a close. Depending on the actions of the Governor around bills that have been sent to him, the General Assembly may also consider several veto overrides.

Discussed in a previous update, this bill has become law as Session Law 2018-17.
