[Pat Carstensen]

  *   H 496<https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/House/PDF/H496v0.pdf>, Property Owners' Rights/Tree Ordinances, sponsored by Representatives Boles (R - Moore), Hunter (D - Gates, Hertford, Pasquotank), Brody (R - Anson, Union) and Moffit (R - Henderson) is an anti-tree bill that would make it nearly impossible for local governments to protect trees on private property.
