The South Carolina Senate completed a series of uncontested calendar items during the session, giving third reading to and ordering several bills and adopting resolutions as presented on the uncontested statewide calendar.
The clerk read third reading for H3727, described as adoption of revised code volume 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws "to the extent of its contents and is the only generally permanent statutory law of the state as of 01/01/2025." On the pending question for third reading of H3727 the Senate voice vote was recorded: "Ayes have it." The bill was given a third reading.
