The N.C. House passed new language for a pair of proposed constitutional amendments Friday, paving the way for the amendments to get back on statewide ballots this November after a three-judge panel removed them earlier this week.
The court said language that the Republican majority had planned to put before voters didn't fairly describe what the two amendments do. GOP leadership said the changes working their way through this hastily called special session will address the court's concerns, though Gov. Roy Cooper said in a statement Friday that the new language remains "deceptive, unconstitutional and wrong."
