Status Of Major S.C. Bills Is Listed
After the third week of the 1978 South Carolina session the legislature moved on key issues. The House banned free football tickets for state schools and trustees, the ERA debate slated for Feb 7, the death with dignity bill failed in the House, and an attendance check was rejected in the Senate. Divorces, bottle bill referendum, highway cleanup by prisoners, and tax/classification measures advanced or lingered in committees. The Ways and Means panel neared completion on the $1.3 billion general appropriation, with March 1 target for a full House report. The two-term governor measure progressed to the calendar amid GOP concerns over priority status.
