North Carolina's eugenics program is a sad vestige of the history of our great state. In 2013, our state legislature began to right this wrong by passing legislation that provides compensation payments to victims of the program. Unfortunately, an unintended consequence emerged and these North Carolinians faced the possibility of losing access to the social safety net if they accepted the compensation they deserved. Today, that changed with House passage of the Treatment of Certain Payments in Eugenics Compensation Act. This bill now moves to the White House for the President's signature. Earlier today, I spoke on the House floor in support of this legislation.
