Seven more bills from the General Assembly are now state laws.  This legislation addresses various areas such as  historic preservation, severe allergic reactions and sex education in North Carolina's middle schools.

Governor McCrory's office said he signed the bills Tuesday.

One bill sets up rules on how places like hotels, summer camps and restaurants can obtain epinephrine auto-injectors used to stop allergic reactions caused by bees and certain foods. Schools already are required to maintain the pens.

Public school sex education in middle school now has to include instruction on the dangers of sex trafficking.

And another new law allows local governments to lend or give money for rehabilitating historic structures. It's separate from historic preservation state tax credits restored in this year's budget.

The Governor now has fewer than 25 bills pending on his desk from this year's General Assembly session.
