South Carolina Legislature Among Few Without Roll Calls
The South Carolina General Assembly does not print daily attendance roll calls, allowing $25 a day expense payments to lawmakers whether present or absent. About a quarter of legislators are absent daily, with no routine audit of attendance. Several states keep daily roll calls and journals, while South Carolina relies on occasional roll votes to indicate presence. Senator Gilbert McMillan earlier pushed for attendance records and disallowance of subsistence pay for absentees, but the effort stalled.
