Insurance proposal to curb high car premiums in South Carolina
A proposed reform to cut car insurance costs for SC drivers would impose a 25 percent surcharge on applicants with multiple violations or risky histories. The plan, backed by Gov. Campbell and state officials, could reduce rates by up to 15 percent for good drivers if enacted, though consumer advocates urge caution due to broad premium hikes possible for the many with clean records and ongoing rate requests from insurers.

Lawmakers Split Over Compromised Tort Reform Bill
South Carolina lawmakers criticize the House tort reform bill passed after three hours of debate. Senator Glenn McConnell says the measure fails to address major changes for the civil justice system. Freshman Rep Del Baker, an original sponsor, opposed it saying it was watered down to protect lawyers.
