RALEIGH: Governor Roy Cooper declined to sign one bill into law:

• Senate Bill 157: Limited Provisional License Modification.

Governor Cooper made the following statement on SB 157:

"For years, NC’s graduated drivers license process has significantly improved safety for all motorists, however, this legislation passed by a large margin because it should help reduce the waiting time for young people wanting their license. I have concerns that this law could make our roads less safe and I encourage the Division of Motor Vehicles and the legislature to monitor its effects closely."
