After lawmakers quickly moved the first coronavirus relief bill through both chambers of the General Assembly last week, Governor Roy Cooper (D) signed SB 36: 2020 COVID Relief Bill Modifications Wednesday, officially making the bill law. The compromise legislation between state lawmakers and the Governor s administration extends the extra credit grant program, providing $335 checks to parents with a child in school as well as new money to help with vaccine distribution, school reopenings, and emergency rental and utility assistance programs. The rest of the bill includes technical changes like extending deadlines for funds to be spent or reports to submitted. This is just the first of what lawmakers expect to many COVID relief bills to make it to the Governor s desk.
