RALEIGH, N.C. – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue finally is getting around to handling more than 100 bills left on her desk by the Legislature when it adjourned two weeks ago.

Perdue’s office said she signed 20 bills into law Wednesday, including one that attempts to fix the state’s coastal property insurance program.

Reforms to the Beach Plan allow state regulators to place a surcharge on every property insurance policy in the state should hurricane damage claims exceed $2.4 billion. The law also reduces the maximum value for which a home can be insured by the plan.

Perdue hadn’t acted upon any of the 108 bills until now. She has until Sept. 10 to sign or veto remaining bills. Bills not considered by then automatically become law.
