Federal and state constitutions already guarantee the supremacy of U.S. law in domestic cases but when he introduced the bill in 2011, Cleveland told The News & Observer that he was concerned about Shariah law gaining a foothold in communities with large Muslim populations.

The current bill does not mention Shariah law which governs the conduct of an observant Muslim's life and is the basis for the legal code in some countries in the Middle East and Asia.

In the past, critics of such bills have argued that they could make it difficult for multinational corporations who do business in the state.

Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin said Tuesday he plans to change a fundraising solicitation for his "Commissioners Club" that raised eyebrows for how it promised donors access to private dinners and a special newsletter.

The Democrat said any concerns about the email sent earlier this week to potential donors was "more a function of poor wording" than special favors for donors. "In looking at it, I can see how it would be interpreted," he said. "I have a lengthy history of supporting transparency and campaign finances that provide footing for all voters," he said.

UPDATED: Democratic Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin broke his silence on the legislative debate surrounding the health insurance exchanges, arguing that a state-based exchange is better for the state's consumers.

Goodwin sat on the sidelines (at least publicly) for the past week as the Republicans pushed a bill to let the federal government run the online marketplace for insurance policies and require Goodwin to send back any federal money he received to help get a state-sponsored exchange.

A company that trains North Carolina bail bondsmen will soon be forced out of business because of a new law, but the owners aren’t going down without a fight.

Lynette Thompson is a partner at the Rockford-Cohen Group, which founded the N.C. Bail Academy in January last year to compete with the N.C. Bail Agents Association, a longstanding provider of training required to become a bondsman or retain a license that previously operated without competition.

Thompson has filed a lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court, seeking an injunction to delay the law's effective date so her company can continue providing training after the end of this month. In an affidavit, she levels an array of allegations against the Department of Insurance and its commissioner, Wayne Goodwin, and the Bail Agents Association.
