Lawmakers to Redraw Maps, New NC Laws, Tillis Targets Pot Farm

North Carolina lawmakers plan to reconvene next week to revisit congressional district maps, a move that could spark another round of political and legal battles ahead of the 2026 election. Several new state laws also take effect in October, including one that allows drivers to renew licenses online without a REAL ID. Meanwhile, Senator Thom Tillis has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate a marijuana operation run by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
