RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The legislature is making plans for Roy Cooper to give the North Carolina governor’s biennial speech to the General Assembly.

House Republicans filed a resolution Tuesday inviting Cooper to deliver the State of the State address the evening of March 13 to a joint session of the General Assembly in the House chamber.

The governor usually gives the address in odd-numbered years in keeping with the start of the two-year legislative session and lays out his priorities. This will be Cooper’s first such speech after his November election victory.

The resolution must be approved by the House and Senate.
