LEGISLATIVE RECAP SOUTH CAROLINA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SC INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REFORM ACT South Carolina made history this year by passing a comprehensive, sustainable solution to road funding. Members of the General Assembly, working together with the business community, delivered tax relief to hardworking families, reformed the Department of Transportation, and provided long term funding for the state’s roads and bridges when they voted to pass H.3516, the SC Infrastructure and Economic Development Reform Act. The business community thanks legislators of both parties for showing true leadership this year and doing the right thing for the people of South Carolina. The bill became law in May 2017.

Chamber President and CEO Ted Pitts praised legislators for their hard work. He said, “The people of South Carolina— business owners large and small, hard working families and local leaders from every walk of life—have been loud and clear: the cost of doing nothing to fix roads and bridges across the state is too high. Members of the House and Senate deserve credit for showing courage and taking action.”
