SB 242 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

H.A.L.L. Accountability Act.

SB 242, the H.A.L.L. Accountability Act, repeals a previous law (S.L. 2023-134, Section 27.7(d)) that kept redistricting documents private. It requires all redistricting documents to be treated as public records, making them accessible to the public. This directly affects North Carolina legislators, state agencies, and local governments involved in redistricting by mandating transparency in their process. The bill changes the legal status of these documents from non-public to public records upon enactment.
