The Raleigh Report
From the Office of Cullie Tarleton
February 8, 2010
The work of the General Assembly is wide ranging and has great influence over spending priorities, economic policies, education, health care and other critical areas.
The Legislature is also responsible for working with law enforcement and judicial officials to write the state's criminal laws. This past session, we approved new laws making our drug laws stronger, toughening sex offender laws and cracking down on illegal weapons. These laws help make our communities safer and help protect our families. A few of them are highlighted in the information below.
Thank you as always for your interest in state government. If you have any questions about this information or anything else that I can help with, please contact me. I can be reached at culliet@ncleg.net or 828-295-3353. I am always glad to be of service.
Drugs
The new Paraphernalia Control Act regulates the sale of glass tubes and splitters, which are known to be used as drug paraphernalia. The tubes can be used to smoke illegal drugs, while the splitters can slice the wrappings off of a cigar. The wrappings can then be filled with illegal drugs and smoked. The new law (HB 722 - S.L. 2009-205) requires that the items be placed behind the sales counter, that clerks require identification from those people purchasing such items and that the buyers keep a record of such sales for at least two years.
