What: How laws and bills from the 2026 North Carolina General Assembly short session, and the November constitutional amendments, affect Morrisville: new state permit fees, parking and accessory dwelling rules, SNAP cost sharing through sales tax, and possible future limits on local zoning and property tax.
Where it stands: staff tracks bills on a legislative dashboard and updates council; the SNAP provision takes effect in October 2027 and municipal league advocacy is under way; the town must amend its development ordinance for the parking change before January.
