Reapportionment Plans Debated in South Carolina

The House Judiciary Committee weighs seven reapportionment proposals for the 124 member House amid a special session. The Senate plans limited debate on reapportionment and two other items while considering other priorities. The proposed plan splits the state into 27 districts along county lines, with major allocations including Greenville 12 and Charleston 12. The session, capped by Speaker Rex Carter, aims to save taxpayers money as lawmakers bill for daily pay during the extended session.
