The House recorded multiple second‑reading actions: Senate Bill 586 (Kershaw County) received 97‑0; HB 3477 (UI indexing) passed 114‑0; HB 5064 (Northeastern Technical College) passed 102‑0; H.4757 (Parental Rights) advanced 116‑1 following amendments.
The South Carolina House's calendar produced multiple recorded actions and committee report adoptions Thursday.
- Senate Bill 586 (local bill addressing Kershaw County/DOT issues) received a second‑reading tabulation of 97‑0. - House Bill 34‑77 (indexing unemployment insurance benefits) moved with committee amendments and passed second reading by a recorded vote of 114‑0 after several committee amendments that adjusted benefit weeks by unemployment rate and improved administrative language. - House Bill 50‑64 (Northeastern Technical College membership adjustment) received second reading by a recorded vote of 102‑0. - House Bill 47‑57 (Parental Rights Act) advanced on second reading after adoption of multiple amendments; the roll call on second reading was 116‑1.
Several committee reports were introduced and the calendar included nominations and special recognitions. Members also adopted a variety of noncontroversial committee reports and introduced new bills to committee.
Why this matters: The roll‑call tallies document formal floor action and the bills that advance through the legislative process; the Parental Rights Act attracted the most floor debate and a recorded roll call showing a strong majority for second reading.
Next steps: Each bill that received second reading will return to the House calendar for later readings and final votes, as required by legislative procedure.
