Hi John,

As your representative in Raleigh, I’m focused on delivering results that reflect the values of our rural communities — faith, family, freedom, and a government that works for the people. From protecting innocent life to honoring our national motto, supporting skilled workers, and strengthening emergency response efforts, we’re moving forward on legislation that puts North Carolina first.

In this update, you’ll find highlights of the work we’re doing to support families, modernize services, and defend what matters most. My door is always open — please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance.

At your service,
Ben

Representative Ben T. Moss, Jr.
North Carolina General Assembly

LEGISLATIVE WEEK IN REVIEW

HUMAN LIFE PROTECTION ACT

FOR GOD & COUNTRY...

I recently had the honor of presenting and passing two meaningful bills, which both passed on the House floor:

🙏🏼 HB 16 – to display “In God We Trust” above the dais in both chambers of the General Assembly, honoring our national motto and the values that guide our service.

🇺🇸 HB 236 – to recognize the Freedom Flag as a symbol of remembrance for those we lost on 9/11 and authorize its display each September 11 across North Carolina.

Proud to stand for faith, freedom, and the principles that unite us.

RESPIRATORY CARE MODERNIZATION ACT

Earlier this month, the NC House passed my bill, the Respiratory Care Modernization Act (HB 71), with overwhelming bipartisan support (113-4). This legislation updates our laws to reflect the advanced training and critical role of respiratory therapists. I’m proud to strengthen patient care across North Carolina. Onward to the Senate!

NEIGHBOR STATE LICENSE RECOGNITION ACT

I'm proud to sponsor HB 763 – the Neighbor State License Recognition Act – to help skilled workers get to work faster in North Carolina. Cutting red tape means more jobs, more opportunity, and a stronger economy across our state.

NC SEARCH & RESCUE ADVISORY COUNCIL

I recently had the privilege of attending the North Carolina Search & Rescue Advisory Council meeting — right here in Hamlet. I was honored to be recognized, but I was mainly there to listen and learn more about this vital, yet often underutilized, resource our state has.

As our population grows and challenges like dementia and Alzheimer’s increase, the need for coordinated, efficient search and rescue efforts becomes even more critical. It was great to see so many dedicated professionals from across our state — including the State Highway Patrol, SBI, and SARS teams — coming together to collaborate.

Thank you to everyone involved in this important work. You are truly making a difference.
