NORTH CAROLINA -- The House Committee on Elections and Ethics Law will once again take up the voter ID bill.

• North Carolinians passed the constitutional amendment with 55 percent of the vote
• There are plans to introduce at least four amendments during this meeting
• The bill includes all forms of ID that will be acceptable in elections

North Carolinians passed the constitutional amendment with 55 percent of the vote during the midterms but now need legislation to make it law.  Lawmakers believe it will cost more than $2 million to implement the bill.

There are plans to introduce at least four amendments during this meeting, after the committee ran out of time on Monday while discussing the bill.

Lawmakers in the Senate made almost 30 changes to the bill before passing it and sending it to the House last week.

These are some of the final steps lawmakers will have to take before they'll likely send it to the House floor.

The bill includes all forms of ID that will be acceptable in elections.

The most recent measure added to the bill changes the expiration date on a county-issued voter ID from eight years to 10, requires the county Board of Elections to notify a person 90 days before their ID will expire, and counties impacted by a natural disaster within 100 days of an election will not have to worry about producing any documents to vote.

It also includes treating in-person ballots like absentee ballots so if a person forgets their ID at home, they'll need two witnesses to indicate who the person is. Some say they'll oppose the bill no matter what.

“The reason that you are passing this bill is simply for voter suppression. There’s no question about it. It doesn’t do anything. What fraud or anything that has ever been perpetuated within the state has been so minuscule that you can’t even keep count of it,” said Rep. Mickey Michaux, (D) Durham County.

“I take offense when race is brought up and suppression is brought up because that is the refuge of scoundrels when they have no debate, ok is to use race as an issue,” Rep. Michael Speciale, (R) Craven County.

The House reconvenes Wednesday morning and is set to take up the bill on the floor.
