SC House approves bill to move Confederate flag monument
In a 62 to 48 vote the South Carolina House approves a measure to relocate the Confederate flag from the Capitol to a Confederate soldier monument on Capitol grounds. The bill sets July 1 for removal, raises the monument pole height, adds lighting and fencing, and tightens rules on memorial changes. The measure returns to the Senate amid continued NAACP boycott pressure and GOP governor Hodges signaling support.
