Is it getting signed?

Good news for SC residents and travelers.

Now to the Senate. Seems the current split is 30 R's and 16 D's. Governor Henry McMaster is an R, but that's no guarantee.

They were close to this before. Can't remember which branch of the government stopped it.

Good question 2Dogs. Is a person any person, or is a person a SC resident.

I hope hope it passes. I remember using the glove box and only carrying into my condo back in 2016 there, although that was still far better than any other state that didn't honor the PA ltcf.
