Answer:

North Carolina legislators changed coal ash storage requirements.

Explanation:

After the incident of Duke coal ash spill on February, 2014, there was a loud outcry by many people and environmental activist groups against the Duke Energy for spilling about 39,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River.

There were numerous lawsuits against Duke Energy and the company had to pay billions of dollars as fine and reparations for the damage caused by them. As a result, the North Carolina legislators also passed a law which changed coal ash storage requirements. The law prohibited building of coal ash ponds near the state's lakes and rivers and stated that coal ash would be treated as any other industrial waste.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

My guess is that it means that lower taxes and less government generate a better economy. Nevertheless, most Americans benefit from a well-financed public sector of the economy paid for by high taxes on rich people and corporations. This is what we get when Democrats dominate the government.

A long-term care facility's policy is that a patient's door must remain open when meeting with visitors. which of the following
Natasha2012 [34]
There is no given choices. However, when I searched for a possible answer to this question, I stumbled across an article that states the following:

The Long-Term Care Homes Act includes a Residents’ Bill of Rights. Right number 8 states that “every resident has the right to be afforded privacy in treatment and in caring for his or her personal needs”. 

Resident Right 21 entitles residents the right to meet with a spouse or other person in a room that assures privacy. 

The patient has the right to his or her privacy not only to do her personal hygiene activities but also when he or she is meeting with his or her visitors.
