South Carolina House transfers 1.3M to its own budget
The South Carolina House shifted 1.3 million from a state agency into its budget, a move GOP leaders call restoring depleted reserves while Democrats call it a budget increase. Critics say the transfer boosts House funds despite promises of cuts to health care for children, with officials arguing it funds emergencies and potential extended sessions. The transfer, initially listed as a budget increase, later appeared as a reduced overall House budget, while lawmakers argue it simply replenishes reserves for contingencies.
