Attorney General/Restrict Challenge to Presidential Executive Orders.

HB 72 prohibits North Carolina's Attorney General from participating in any court case (as a party, amicus, or otherwise) that argues a presidential executive order should be invalidated. The law directly affects the Attorney General's office, restricting their ability to challenge federal executive actions in state or federal courts. Key provisions state the Attorney General cannot advance arguments leading to the invalidation of any presidential executive order, applying to all pending or future litigation. This is a procedural limitation on state legal actions, not a change to federal executive power. The bill becomes effective upon enactment for cases filed after that date.
