Legislature Set to Tackle DSS Board Size and Blue Laws
The South Carolina Senate returns to debate a bill expanding the Department of Social Services board from seven to 15 members with six districts electing two members each and three appointed by the governor, while a rival plan would make a 19 member board. A Sunday sales bill may allow afternoon merchandising. The Finance Committee begins work on a $1.2 million state budget, aiming to send it to the full Senate in about two weeks, with capital punishment restoration slated for public hearing. The Senate will also shift Wednesday session time to 2:30 p.m. to boost committee work.
