Summary
The Senate approved multiple uncontested items, including a Dietitian Licensure Compact act and a Tuskegee Airmen resolution, passed at least one bill on third reading by roll call 44–0, adopted a concurrent resolution to name a portion of Squire Road, and carried over other items for later consideration.
The South Carolina Senate moved through a largely uncontested calendar, approving several bills and resolutions and carrying over others for future consideration.
Among the items acted on were a bill to enact the Dietitian Licensure Compact and a bill to provide confidentiality privileges for certain military chaplains; the reading clerk announced third reading and the presiding officer declared "Ayes have it." The Senate also adopted a resolution honoring the Tuskegee Airmen on their anniversary.
A roll‑call third reading on an amended bill resulted in a recorded vote of 44 to 0 in favor; the clerk announced the bill had been given third reading by that margin. The Senate also granted second reading on another bill by a recorded 44 to 0 vote.
The chamber adopted a concurrent resolution requesting the Department of Transportation name a portion of Squire Road in Rock Hill "Archbishop R. B. Wilson Memorial Road" and direct appropriate signage. The Senate dispensed with the remainder of the motion period and agreed to adjourn in memory of Sheriff George Malone and, on the next available day, Deputy Devin Mason.
The Senate carried over multiple bills for later floor action; several items were referred back to committee, including at least one PSC‑related bill that was recommitted to the Judiciary Committee. Several bills noted on the calendar were placed or left on the calendar for future debate.
Next steps: Many items were placed on committee calendars or carried over; individual bill texts, committee schedules and fiscal notes will determine subsequent floor action.
