Chair Lady Erickson, speaking for the floor, explained the measure would replace the “South Carolina Children’s Advisory Medical Response System Act,” which produced the acronym “SCAMMERS,” with the “South Carolina Child Abuse and Neglect Network,” producing the acronym SCAN. “That is all it does,” she said on the floor, adding the change does not alter the committee’s work.

Why it matters: The change is technical and cosmetic — intended to provide a more appropriate name — and does not change statutory duties or authorities of the advisory body.

What was said and done: Chair Lady Erickson briefly explained the bill’s purpose on the floor and the House moved the measure by second reading and approved unanimous-consent scheduling for third reading later in the week.

What this does not do: The bill does not alter the body’s responsibilities or funding. It is a name change only, according to the floor explanation.

Procedural note: The transcript records the member’s explanation on the floor and the clerk’s subsequent roll-call procedure for second reading; the House ordered the bill for third reading by unanimous consent later in the day.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle"," House of Representatives -- House of Representatives Thursday, April 24, 2025 10:00 am","oneSentenceSummary","The House approved a name change for the state children’s advisory body, replacing the prior acronym with “SCAN” to avoid an inappropriate shorthand; the update makes no change to the committee’s duties.","taxTitle","2025 Legislative Meetings, South Carolina","taxId",78666,"location","South Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6262648,"House grants unanimous consent for resolution letting commission screen public service candidates",38,1999000,2037000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3112996-39b9e37f727e9e756d8c97ce8ec74ed4&start=1999&end=2037","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3112996-39b9e37f727e9e756d8c97ce8ec74ed4/thumbnail_1999000.jpg","/articles/6262648/South-Carolina/House-grants-unanimous-consent-for-resolution-letting-commission-screen-public-service-candidates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6262648-cf485f0bb14fd9026e10885c5c9932b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191440&Signature=dSC72UdXPc0HlWWJo-TBvfVTTIZ-ichmrvvpGV0MR-tbckm3chuOPx7gAuFF7niz7jF3rz-OIWxuroX~YeC2u5nnBhYyWCYvwrKfsKW7oQI2ZY4kQna0knV~bvschmYewpG9x6Vh~xGVlxHI9H3CmzKeLCLkmnauaiKjuUmC4wjxWeaaHVTRnNr5K2nLYie-Vox9LvWwwqDSOKi4dK~s21NQByt2I6vhtl0nJaPTVE4briKNIGu1f7cWIIz7LBmviXJwtARKlmvfQon8YZGs69eqTNy88SslQkjx9mDCvdyXS3y7vyIlx7Se8Tpsdi4OSAo7duAf8xKse4nmHNZe7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","COLUMBIA — Representative Herb Kurzman asked the House for unanimous consent on a joint resolution to allow a screening panel to vet candidates for open seats at the state public service commission, and the chamber granted the request with no objections.

Kortman told members the resolution would let “the PERC to screen the candidates this fall for the remaining seats that have been open for years at the, public service commission and allow us to hold the elections when we reconvened back in January.” The House agreed by unanimous consent and the measure was ordered printed on the calendar.

Why it matters: Allowing a screening process while the Legislature is out of session can speed selection for commission vacancies that have been pending, ensuring vacancies do not remain unfilled until the next legislative day.

What was said and done: Kurzman introduced the request without reference to committee and described it as a joint resolution to permit an off-session screening of candidates for the public service commission. The presiding officer asked if there were objections; none were raised and the request was approved.

What this does not decide: The unanimous consent granted permission for the screening process; it does not itself elect or appoint any individual to the public service commission. Any formal election or appointment would follow the screening and convening of the Legislature as required.

Procedural note: The transcript identifies the body to be screened as the “public service commission” and uses the acronym “PERC” in the member’s explanation. The House ordered the resolution printed on the calendar for further processing.","Lawmaker Herb Kurzman won unanimous consent for a joint resolution to allow a screening commission to review candidates for seats at the public service commission while the Legislature is out of session.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6262653,"House approves wide set of bills, moves several measures forward in bulk votes",2022,2216000,4238000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3112996-39b9e37f727e9e756d8c97ce8ec74ed4&start=2216&end=4238","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3112996-39b9e37f727e9e756d8c97ce8ec74ed4/thumbnail_2216000.jpg","/articles/6262653/South-Carolina/House-approves-wide-set-of-bills-moves-several-measures-forward-in-bulk-votes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6262653-73b65285ef5b4564164d581ff254ddfa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191440&Signature=k9eIas-fi69U-IbZJkwpEOlD8q3dqoaiVhUPjJwl2s17KUMBAsIbZzRMPrKP6uzaiR8Pjnzikj6Cocp4Zz5Wwe7OGsQXDIaaYm8DewlfSk13FiDcoXmrG2x5NaKSLShM0kEaj~iFhFQOq5~X~QBUKp9KSAJYsALyBuzEUk6s1ndqLafm8-RwSJZjTRKP-xvp3UDgZsSpPYMkednFVWFP7Y5D5GVwxRZCumgyVjk78SuJKnydBhr0x0o3JfRe3ltwW1y5D0CtskjF9nTJAHDF-WsSkk5WfCS50GD9UycxfkMc~RTZ-fAc-1UNVPI2KB7mtgMqRpvsoBC3yl3K5SnZCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","COLUMBIA — The South Carolina House of Representatives advanced a large slate of measures Tuesday, taking roll-call and voice votes to move several local and statewide bills through second and third readings with little floor debate.

Lawrence County local bills House bills 38 77 and 38 78 each received second reading on roll call, with House bill 38 77 recorded at 96-0 and House bill 38 78 recorded at 95-0, clerk records show. The chamber also cleared a string of third-reading votes and adopted a series of statewide uncontested bills by voice vote.

Why it matters: The actions send measures further through the legislative process, allowing committees, floor managers and the Senate to take subsequent steps. Local bills moving by roll call are typically expedited when there is no opposition on the floor.

What happened:
- House bill 38 77 (Lawrence County local) received second reading by roll call, tabulated at 96-0.
- House bill 38 78 (Lawrence County local) received second reading by roll call, tabulated at 95-0.
- A number of statewide uncontested bills and individual bills listed on the calendar were given third reading and adopted by voice vote; the clerk read and the presiding officer announced passage with “ayes have it.” Specific bills given third reading or adopted on the floor included House bills and Senate bills identified on the calendar (numbers read on the floor), including house bill 39 31 and house bill 43 50, among others.
- The chamber reconsidered a prior third-reading adoption of Senate bill 2 13 (a Greenville local bill) after a procedural mistake; the House then recorded a second-reading vote of 91-0. Representative Brandon Newton later asked unanimous consent to place the bill for third reading, and the request was granted.
- House managers used unanimous-consent procedures to move H.4267 from the Education and Public Works Committee to the calendar for floor consideration without recorded opposition.

Floor process and procedure: Many of the measures were carried by voice vote with no extended debate. Where the House rules required a roll call, the clerk tabulated the recorded tallies listed above. Members used unanimous consent requests to advance or reassign bills and to grant third-reading placement in at least one instance.

What was not decided: For many measures the floor action was procedural (second or third reading) rather than final enactment into law; final outcomes require subsequent steps including concurrence by the other chamber or delivery to the governor when applicable. Several bills adopted by voice vote on third reading did not have roll-call tallies announced in the transcript.

Votes at a glance (selected, floor transcript):
- House bill 38 77 (Lawrence County local): Second reading — vote 96 yes, 0 no.
- House bill 38 78 (Lawrence County local): Second reading — vote 95 yes, 0 no.
- Senate bill 2 13 (Greenville local): Reconsidered after an incorrect reading; second reading recorded 91 yes, 0 no; unanimous-consent placement for third reading granted.
- House bill 39 31: Third reading — adopted (voice vote; tally not specified in transcript).
- House bill 43 50: Third reading — adopted (voice vote; tally not specified in transcript).

The meeting continued with additional committee reports and procedural motions before adjournment; the clerk recorded multiple other measures that received second or third reading during the session but for which roll-call tallies were not read into the record.","The South Carolina House recorded multiple voice and roll-call votes and moved numerous bills through second and third readings, including unanimous roll-call approvals of two Lawrence County local bills and a procedural reconsideration and placement of a Greenville local bill.","actionData","errors"]
