NC H913

Establishes a new Bipartisan State Board of Ethics and Elections Enforcement with eight members serving four-year terms to administer ethics and election laws.

Requires the board membership to have no more than four members from the same political affiliation, with four members appointed by the General Assembly upon recommendation of the Senate President Pro Tempore and four upon recommendation of the House Speaker.

Clarifies that the General Assembly controls the powers, duties, appointments, and terms of boards and commissions prescribed by law, and prohibits legislators from serving on boards or commissions exercising executive or judicial authority.

Amends the North Carolina Constitution to affirm that the Governor must faithfully execute laws as enacted by the General Assembly without independent appointment authority over boards and commissions established by statute.

Submits the constitutional amendments to voters at the November 2018 general election, with the board becoming effective March 1, 2019 if approved.
