RALEIGH, N.C. – North Carolina Senator Brad Overcash has compiled a legislative record that includes enacted measures involving education, student health services and workforce development, while also advancing proposals involving property taxes, American-made steel and other issues.
Overcash, a Republican representing Gaston County’s Senate District 43, is serving his second term in the North Carolina Senate.
General Assembly records show Overcash was a primary sponsor of Senate Bill 77, the School Contracted Health Services Act. The legislation became law in July 2025 and gives qualifying parents of students with individualized education programs greater ability to retain a nurse already providing care to their child, subject to requirements established in the law.
Overcash was also a primary sponsor of Senate Bill 133, which became law in 2025 and addressed North Carolina Community College System technology and state education data systems.
Another Overcash sponsored measure, Senate Bill 321, the Accounting Workforce Development Act, became law in July 2025.
In education policy, Overcash joined Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and Senator Michael Lee as primary sponsors of Senate Bill 227, legislation restricting diversity, equity and inclusion policies and practices in public education. The measure became law in June 2026 following a gubernatorial veto and legislative override.
Other pieces of Overcash’s agenda have not yet become law.
He is the first primary sponsor of Senate Bill 349, which proposes changes to North Carolina’s property-tax relief provisions. He also sponsored Senate Bill 296, a proposal involving the use of American-made steel, and Senate Bill 329, which would recognize the South Fork Passage State Trail.
For Overcash, the measures that have reached the finish line provide a documented record spanning education, student health services and workforce policy as he continues his second term representing Gaston County.
