Speakers:

A South Carolina House General Law subcommittee heard testimony on H.4763, the HALO Act, which would create a 25-foot safety buffer for first responders after a verbal warning and allow up to 50 feet at health-care facilities. Supporters from law enforcement and emergency services backed the change; the ACLU opposed it as vague and potentially chilling to free speech. The subcommittee adopted two amendments and gave the bill a favorable report as amended.
