Hanson v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Bd. of Educ.

Summary

The Supreme Court of North Carolina affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision that the Charlotte‑Mecklenburg Board of Education must pay the employer‑funded 5% contribution required by N.C.G.S. 143‑166.50(e). The Court reiterated its longstanding approach of relying on the plain text of a statute and limiting the use of legislative history, distinguishing between procedural legislative history and amendment history.
