SR 150 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Confirm Joey Hopkins/Sec. of DOT.

This Senate Resolution (SR 150) formally asks the North Carolina Senate to confirm Governor Joey R. Hopkins' appointment of Joey R. Hopkins as Secretary of the Department of Transportation. It follows state law requiring Senate approval for heads of major state departments, as the Governor had previously nominated Hopkins for the role. The resolution does not change transportation policies or create new programs; it only initiates the Senate's formal confirmation process for a specific appointment. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on the confirmation step, not the duties or policies of the Department of Transportation.

What changed between versions

Edition 1 → Adopted · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended from a standard Senate Resolution to an adopted resolution confirming Joey R. Hopkins as Secretary of the Department of Transportation. The substantive language was simplified to directly confirm the appointment rather than outlining a consideration process, and the version number was updated to reflect adoption.
TECHNICAL

The resolution title was changed from 'relating to the appointment, nomination, and confirmation' to 'confirming' to reflect the final action taken.

The operative language was changed from a consideration clause to a direct confirmation statement, removing the conditional language about whether the Senate would consider the appointment.

The header was updated to include 'Adopted' and the adoption date of 3/5/25, along with a version number change from v-1 to v-2.
