>> maybe they can get Perdue to sign it <<

Good news:

The law you want can go into effect even if Bev opposes it, because North Carolina’s governors don’t have veto power.

(NC is the only state with such a “weak governor” constitutional provision. In every one of the other 49 states, the governator can veto legislation.)

I believe your information is out of date.

How a Law is Made:

In November 1996, the citizens of North Carolina voted to amend the State Constitution to allow for a gubernatorial veto (Section 22 of Article II of the North Carolina Constitution). All Public Bills other than bills making appointments, proposing constitutional amendments, or revising districts are presented to the Governor on the day following ratification for the Governor's approval or veto.

Not true anymore, as of 1996...
