Votes at a glance: Senate adopts resolutions, confirms Berkeley County Master In Equity, carries over regulations
Summary
During the floor session the Senate adopted a resolution recognizing June 2025 as Waste and Recyclers Workers Week, adopted a concurrent resolution naming a portion of Main Street, confirmed a Berkeley County official, and granted unanimous-consent carryovers for several regulatory resolutions; several appointments were referred to committees.
The South Carolina Senate recorded several formal actions during the session in Columbia.
Adopted resolutions The chamber unanimously adopted a Senate resolution recognizing June 2025 as Waste and Recyclers Workers Week after a unanimous-consent request and immediate consideration. The reading clerk announced the adoption: "Aye... Ayes have it. And this senate resolution is agreed to by the senate."
The Senate also adopted a concurrent resolution requesting the Department of Transportation to name a portion of Main Street in Easley and Pickens County the Officer Matthew Logan Hare Memorial Avenue and to direct appropriate signs and markers; the Senate recorded the adoption on the uncontested calendar.
Confirmation The Berkeley County Master In Equity, an appointment referred to the Berkeley County delegation, was placed before the chamber for confirmation. The Senate voted in favor to confirm the nominee; the clerk recorded the confirmation with "Ayes have it. The individual is confirmed." The transcript does not provide the roll-call tally for this confirmation vote in the excerpt beyond the affirmative announcement.
Committee and calendar actions The chamber agreed to carry over S.35 for further consideration. The Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee asked that a series of regulatory approvals (S.348 through S.354) be carried over and left on the calendar for two weeks to allow senators time to review regulations vetted by committee. That unanimous-consent request to carry the resolutions over until March 5 was granted.
Other notes A number of gubernatorial appointments to the Department of Natural Resources Board and the State Ports Authority were read into the record and referred to standing committees for consideration; the transcript shows referral, not confirmation, for those statewide appointments. Several local bill scheduling motions were also recorded, including ordering S.213 for a second reading and scheduling it for third reading the following day by unanimous consent.
The transcript records these procedural and confirmatory outcomes but does not include extensive floor debate on most items.
