The North Carolina state House passed legislation Wednesday limiting the continuing emergency powers of Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.There needs to be a discussion about endless duration of power that's granted to @NC_Governor during a self-declared emergency. This bill isn't about politics—it's about restoring checks/balances. No one should have such unilateral authority, especially for unlimited time. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/S9tsTuh0oj

The bill was unveiled a year after Cooper first instituted an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also known as the Emergency Powers Accountability Act, the proposed legislation passed 69-50 along a party-line vote in the lower chamber, after which it is slated to head to the state Senate for debate.
