RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA – State lawmakers convened at the General Assembly Monday for a special session focused on recovery efforts from Hurricane Florence. 

• A special session for Florence relief happened Monday.
• $794 million in state funds are expected to be allocated.
• Two bills have already been passed.

Initial estimates are that North Carolina is facing $13 billion in damage from the hurricane. Much of that will be paid by the federal government and private insurance.

By the end of the night, lawmakers will have signed off on a recovery package totaling nearly $800 million.

This comes after two bills were passed earlier this month.

One of those bills waived missed school days for students and the other gave election boards flexibility.

They're going through hundreds of millions of dollars of spending proposals, which will come mostly out of the state's rainy day fund, but legislators say this is just the first part of the recovery process.

Legislators say they will assess how the money is being used in a couple of months and likely come forward with a second phase of the recovery plan then.
