Abstract:
When the 1973 North Carolina General Assembly convened in January it was faced with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that raised doubts about the constitutionality of North Carolina's capital punishment statutes. The problem lay in allowing juries discretion to choose between life imprisonment and death for the same crime. Ultimately, the jury's option to recommend life imprisonment was removed, leaving mandatory death penalties for first-degree murder, arson, rape, and first-degree burglary.

Abstract:
As usual, a number of bills concerning motor vehicles and highway safety were brought before the 1973 North Carolina General Assembly. The more significant ones passed concerned amendments to the driver's license law, provisions for abandoned vehicles, and reciprocal agreements that allow out-of-state drivers to receive only citations instead of jail time if their residence state accords the same privilege to North Carolina drivers.
