Episode Notes

South Carolina lawmakers wrapped up the regular 2022 session last week in Columbia.

This week, we’re recapping what state lawmakers did and didn’t do during this regular legislative session, from the bills that died to ones that have made it to or are en route to the governor’s desk to be signed into law, plus what lawmakers still have to do when they return for their special session next month.

Assistant Columbia bureau chief Seanna Adcox explains how some bills, like one that allows anyone in the state to cast a ballot early passed this session while others, like a bill that would legalize marijuana for people with chronic pain, weren’t successful this time around.
