RALEIGH (June 30, 2011) – History will be made for thousands of children across North Carolina on Friday when House Bill 344 (Tax Credits for Children with Disabilities) officially becomes law.

Gov. Beverly Perdue released a final list of bills under her consideration this afternoon, which included a statement saying that she will not sign House Bill 344. This means the bill will become law at midnight.

In a momentous and historic effort for North Carolina parents, a measure that will benefit thousands of students is now a signature away from becoming reality.
