Following the CDC’s decision to extend its national evictions moratorium, Governor Cooper on Monday asked for the necessary concurrence from the Council of State to extend the evictions moratorium order.
State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, called on Gov. Roy Cooper to allow Executive Order 206 to expire on June 30. The order was originally issued in October 2020 and most recently extended in March of this year. It is based on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention national moratorium issued last fall. Treasurer Folwell supported the original order but did not support the three extensions and asks that the executive order be allowed to expire at the end of the month.
The Senate Judiciary Committee today approved legislation sponsored by Sens. Bill Rabon (R-Brunswick), Jim Burgin (R-Harnett), and Carl Ford (R-Rowan) to rein in Gov. Roy Cooper's emergency powers.
