State House Week

The S.C. House this week passed what's expected to be the most important piece of legislation to be considered during the 2018 legislative session, a repeal of the 2007 Base Load Review Act.

Gov. Henry McMaster delivers his first State of the State Address to the SC General Assembly, and as expected fallout from the V.C. Summer nuclear debacle is shaping up to be the dominant issue for this years' legislative session.

Wintry weather cut this week's session of the SC General Assembly short, but lawmakers had plenty of questions for the CEO of Dominion Energy. Domion Energy has proposed to buy SCANA Corp., the parent company of South Carolina Electric and Gas.

State lawmakers returned to Columbia this week for the 2018 session of the S.C. General Assembly. Fallout from last summer's collapse of the V.C. Nuclear is expected to dominate this year's session. Also, this week the House of Representatives wasted little time in overriding Gov. Henry McMaster's veto of some $20 million dollars for new school buses.

The S.C. General Assembly adjourns for the year, passing a critical road funding bill in the final hours.

With one week remaining before adjournment, the S.C. General Assembly still has some heavy lifting to do.

After three years of unsuccessful attempts, the S.C. Senate passes a road funding bill.

With the adjournment clock ticking, the S.C. Senate is finally debating a bill to fix the state's deteriorating roads and bridges.

Again this year, the fate of a bill to fix state roads and bridges will be determined in the S.C. Senate.

Gov. McMaster threatens to veto the proposed gas tax bill, and a bill allowing residents to openly carry a gun without a permit is approved in the House of Representatives.
