Abstract:

Many private companies in North Carolina--Lowe's Companies, Progress Energy, BB&T, and others--offer domestic partner benefits. The public sector employers are slower in granting this. In 2009, only 19 states offered them to state employees--North Carolina was not one of them. This bulletin explains the law governing the ability of North Carolina local government employers to offer domestic partner benefits.
