House Bill 1410, if passed, will close a loophole that currently allows companies to skirt their environmental and public health responsibilities.

H1410 clarifies the definition of “public monies” so that development projects, like the Titan plant near Wilmington, NC, receive a proper review under the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA). The SEPA process requires, among other things, a completed and fully reviewed environmental impact statement. This is a great chance to close this loophole and give assurance to NC taxpayers that our investments are being used wisely and will not be harmful to our communities or public health.

Please send an email to your Senator asking them to support H1410!
