ON THE BUBBLE

Hundreds of bills are likely to miss the May 1 deadline to “crossover,” meaning they are unlikely to pass this year. Among the subjects on the bubble are:

In the House

• Smoking ban in bars and restaurants

• Penalties for willful interruption of a funeral service

• Strengthening of the state Freedom of Information Act

In the Senate

• Expansion of Catawba bingo

• Allowing stop and go at red light for motorcyclists

• Heirs’ right of first refusal in property sales
