House advances reservation measure to second reading, adopts several naming resolutions
Summary
The South Carolina House moved House Bill 3438 to a second reading and adopted multiple concurrent resolutions naming roads and a bridge during a session dominated by routine recognitions and announcements.
The South Carolina House of Representatives advanced House Bill 3438 to a second reading and adopted several naming resolutions on motions taken during the floor session.
House Bill 3438, sponsored by Representative Pope and Representative Brandon Newton, was read for special introduction and proceeded to a roll-call vote on whether to adopt the measure for second reading. The clerk closed the roll and tabulated the vote; the bill received the necessary votes to advance to second reading, according to the clerk's announcement on the floor.
The bill’s text on the floor referred to an expansion related to the Catawba Indian Reservation in conjunction with York County and referenced an earlier 2021 ordinance or resolution connected to the matter. The measure was not fully adopted as final law in this session; the House action recorded on the floor was advancement to second reading.
Separately, members adopted multiple concurrent resolutions that provide commemorative namings. The chamber recorded adoption of Concurrent Resolution 3002 (naming William Nimmons Road), Concurrent Resolution 3003 (Collins Beach), Concurrent Resolution 3004 (Jack Armour Memorial Bridge), and a House measure numbered 3790 naming “Pee Wee Lambert Junior Road.” Each of those measures was adopted on the floor after the chair called for voice votes and members responded “aye,” at which point the chair declared the measures adopted.
The actions taken on the floor were procedural and ceremonial in nature: the advancement of HB3438 moves that bill to the House calendar for a subsequent second-reading consideration; the concurrent resolutions and local naming measures adopted in this session confer honorary or commemorative names and do not, from the text on the floor, create new regulatory obligations.
The House ended the day with routine announcements and recognitions and recessed until the next scheduled session. The clerk noted the chamber will reconvene the following day at 11:45 a.m. for a judicial election.
