Does North Carolina Have a Citizen Legislature?

Record #:
4514
Abstract:
Does North Carolina have a citizen legislature - one in which legislators met in a part-time body in Raleigh each year but still hold jobs back home? With sessions now lasting over 200 days, many wonder if being a legislator has become full-time. Factors indicating this change include longer sessions; issues that require calling the legislature back into session to deal with; and many study commissions and investigative committees that meet between sessions.
