Eight bills will become law over the objection of North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein.
State lawmakers held override votes in Raleigh Tuesday.
Charlotte Democrats Carla Cunningham and Nasif Majeed joined all Republicans in voting to override the Power Bill Reduction Act.
The bill gets rid of a state goal to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030.
It also changes the way utilities can use rates to cover power plant construction.
Cunningham also voted to override House Bill 318.
