4. There's not even any information, that I can find, posted that describes this bill as you're referencing it.

Plus, the NCGA no longer has a full Republican supermajority. Therefore, Republicans have lost the power to override vetoes unchallenged.

Please supply more pertinent information because this appears to be incomplete and kind of alarmist,
TBH.
