H699

Sheriff's Deputies/Dismissals

Introduced·4/2/25

North Carolina H699 prohibits sheriffs from dismissing deputies for not making campaign contributions.

North Carolina H699 amends the state's General Statutes to ensure that a sheriff cannot discharge a deputy sheriff or other employee for failing to make a campaign contribution to the sheriff or the sheriff's campaign committee. The bill also outlines the number of employees a sheriff or register of deeds can have, including deputies and school resource officers. The board of commissioners must approve the appointment of relatives or convicted individuals by the sheriff or register of deeds. Deputies appointed by the sheriff serve at the pleasure of the appointing officer.
