It was an honor to speak before this amazing group.

Today, we pause to honor those who paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. Memorial Day is far more than the unofficial start of summer; it is a solemn day of remembrance for the men and women who never returned home, and for the families who carry the weight of that sacrifice every single day.

To those who have worn the uniform, we owe a debt that can never be fully repaid. We honor them best by living our lives in a way that reflects the values they died to protect—integrity, service, and a commitment to the unity of our communities.

Today, as you spend time with family and friends, I encourage you to take a moment of silence to reflect on the cost of the peace we enjoy. Let us remember the names and the stories behind the monuments, and ensure that their service is never forgotten.

May we always be worthy of their sacrifice.

WEEK 17 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Roads, Public Safety, Election Integrity, and More

As the legislative session continues winding down, we are seeing major legislation advance, more bills head to the Governor’s desk, continued work on the state budget, and strong momentum on key House priorities.

Here’s what happened last week in Columbia:

🚘 Roads Bill Passes the House Unanimously

The House UNANIMOUSLY passed S.831, a major step forward in modernizing South Carolina’s transportation system, reducing traffic congestion, and delivering road projects faster and more efficiently.

As South Carolina continues experiencing rapid growth, this legislation focuses on fixing not just our roads, but the system behind them. S.831 cuts costly bureaucratic red tape, streamlines processes within SCDOT, and creates stronger accountability to help projects move from planning to construction much quicker. The goal is simple: get roads built faster, reduce delays, and help families spend less time stuck in traffic and more time at home.

The bill also takes a practical approach to addressing congestion through optional “choice lanes,” giving drivers the freedom to choose a faster route when they want it while keeping all existing lanes in place at no additional cost to taxpayers. Because these projects can be privately funded, the legislation helps expand infrastructure capacity without raising taxes. It also frees up more state transportation dollars for rural roads and other critical infrastructure needs across South Carolina.

S.831 also includes common-sense reforms designed to modernize how major road projects are delivered, including phased design-build authority that accelerates construction timelines and reduces unnecessary delays.

🎥 Be sure to check out this great recap video explaining the bill and what it means for South Carolina families!

💸 Budget Work Continues

The House continued work on the state budget last week after receiving Senate amendments, moving one step closer to delivering $1 Billion in tax relief while investing in South Carolina’s core priorities. The House budget remains focused on responsible, conservative budgeting that supports infrastructure, public safety, education, workforce development, and economic growth without expanding government.

Key investments included in the budget include:

Major funding for road improvements, bridge modernization, and interstate construction projects

Investments in law enforcement, emergency communications, and public safety infrastructure

Increased support for teacher pay, school safety, and workforce development programs

Funding for scholarships and job training opportunities to strengthen South Carolina’s workforce

Support for local community organizations, volunteer emergency services, and programs serving families across the state

As negotiations continue between the House and Senate, House Republicans remain focused on delivering a final budget that keeps South Carolina financially strong, invests in core priorities, and puts more money back into the pockets of taxpayers.

🐶 Fargo’s Law

Last week, the House concurred with Senate amendments on “Fargo, Hyco, Rico, Coba, Wick, Mikka, and Bumi’s Law” (H.3034), sending the bill to the Governor’s desk. This legislation strengthens protections for K9 officers and horses that serve alongside law enforcement officers across South Carolina. These highly trained animals play a vital role in protecting officers, tracking dangerous suspects, locating missing individuals, and helping keep communities safe every day. The bill increases penalties for individuals who seriously injure or kill police animals, ensuring stronger accountability for crimes committed against these dedicated law enforcement partners. By passing this legislation, South Carolina is sending a clear message that attacks on the animals who serve and protect alongside our officers will not be tolerated. South Carolina continues standing firmly with law enforcement and all those who help protect our communities.

👜 Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act

The Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act (H.3021) officially passed the Senate last week with amendments and now heads back to the House. This legislation is focused on cutting unnecessary regulations, reducing burdensome government red tape, and making it easier for South Carolina’s small businesses to grow, hire, and succeed. House Republicans remain committed to creating a stronger business climate that supports job creators and keeps South Carolina economically competitive.

🏫 Truth in School Grading

The Public School Truth in Grading Bill (H.5073) officially passed both chambers and was sent to the Governor last week. This legislation ensures grades reflect what students actually earn, not provide shortcuts that can hurt long-term success. Parents deserve an honest picture of how their child is performing, and schools should maintain strong academic standards that prepare students for college, careers, and real life. The bill restores integrity to GPAs and graduation data while reinforcing accountability across our education system. Real accountability today creates real opportunity for our students tomorrow.

🧒 Strengthening Protections Against Child Exploitation

Last week House Bill H.4804, the Sexual Exploitation of a Minor Penalty Increase Bill passed on the Senate floor and is headed to the Governor's desk. This legislation closes dangerous loopholes, increases penalties for offenders, and ensures repeat offenders face mandatory prison time. Protecting children remains a top priority, and South Carolina continues taking strong action to hold predators fully accountable.

☑️ Protecting Election Integrity

The House also passed the Citizens-Only Voting Constitutional Amendment (S.582), which would ensure that only United States citizens can vote in South Carolina elections. As other states like California, Vermont, and Maryland move toward allowing non-citizens to participate in certain local elections, South Carolina is taking action to protect the integrity of our elections and make clear that voting is a right reserved for American citizens only. This constitutional amendment reinforces secure elections, strengthens public confidence in our system, and ensures our laws are clearly enforced.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity to represent you and to keep you informed about the work being done in Columbia. I welcome your feedback and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information on these or other issues before the General Assembly.
