COLUMBIA — South Carolina lawmakers concluded their 2025 legislative work by championing this year's accomplishments but still have to come back and adopt a budget in the coming weeks. Entering the final day of the 2025 session, most of the major fights — liquor liability and lawsuit reform, a sweeping energy permitting bill and a revised effort to fund private schools with public funds — had already been passed and settled, leaving lawmakers free to clear their slate for next year.

COLUMBIA — When it comes to health care for rural mothers and babies, South Carolina has a failing grade. The state has had an F from March of Dimes — the lowest rating — for infant and maternal mortality rates for the last three years. It ranked second to last of all U.S. states for health care quality and cost in 2024, according to The Phia Group Healthcare Index, a state-by-state health care quality and cost analysis.

COLUMBIA — The South Carolina House passed its income tax reform bill that advocates say sets the state on course for an eventual flat 1.99 percent rate for most taxpayers. With only hours left in the 2025 session that ends at 5 p.m. May 8, the Senate is highly unlikely to take up the bill now, which leaves its fate to next year. If it does become law by 2026, some 42 percent of earners could see a tax cut as soon as 2027, while roughly one third will see no change.
