A year late, North Carolina lawmakers are finally set to reveal a state budget bill as early as Monday, with votes expected this week.<\/p>\n

House Majority Leader Brenden Jones<\/a>, a Tabor City Republican, posted some details on social media midday Monday and said that the agreement is \u201cbeing finalized,\u201d with details to come.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of teachers and state employees have been waiting a year for across-the-board raises. Lawmakers started this new budget as an outlook for the 2026-2027 fiscal year that begins July 1, not anything for the year that has passed. Bonuses were pitched as a way to make up for some of those lost raises.<\/p>\n

Jones confirmed what top Republicans said in May when they reached a budget deal \u201cframework\u201d on raises and tax policy:<\/p>\n

Jones also said that there is more than $3 billion in reserves.<\/p>\n

The news comes after WRAL-TV reported Sunday that a deal had been reached that night,<\/a> including the lack of funding in the agreement for a potential Major League Baseball stadium.<\/p>\n

The News & Observer also confirmed the deal, and that baseball was not part of it, on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

If the budget document \u2014 which has not been released publicly \u2014 comes out by Monday evening, it can be in committees as soon as Tuesday morning, with votes to follow.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Destin Hall\u2019s spokesperson, Demi Dowdy, told The N&O on Monday that the bill will be released Monday night or early Tuesday morning, with votes likely on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

There is also the possibility that the budget bill this week isn\u2019t the last spending bill. Lawmakers could pass a bill with raises and money for big projects, and then pass another budget bill later this summer with additional spending.<\/p>\n
