House limits extra session bills to fuel tax relief proposals

The House allows only the specified fuel tax relief bills and final adjournment resolutions to be introduced or considered. These limits apply to the North Carolina House during its 2026 first extra session. Permitted bills must propose ending motor fuel tax collection on vehicle fuel purchases through November 30, 2026, and exempting certain highway use of dyed diesel through December 31, 2026. They must also protect the programs and funds that receive those tax proceeds. The rules took effect when the House adopted the resolution on October 7, 2026.

The House may schedule permitted bills or final adjournment resolutions without sending them to a committee first. These options apply to measures permitted during the House's 2026 first extra session. A bill recommended by a committee may also be scheduled that day. Scheduling may happen on the day a measure is introduced or received from the Senate, or the day a committee recommends a bill.

House members may offer amendments only when they address the permitted fuel tax relief or protection of affected funds. These limits apply to amendments offered in the North Carolina House during the 2026 first extra session. Amendments cannot raise a bill's total spending or tax breaks, or leave protected programs and funds short of the required amount. An amendment also cannot delete an amendment the House already adopted.
