The U.S. Chamber is saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. A trusted partner to the business community for more than three decades, his leadership and service leave a lasting legacy.

Tomorrow, the House Department of Transportation Modernization Ad Hoc Committee will meet for the first time and hear testimony from Department officials and the public. I’m excited to see the work this committee does in an effort to improve and streamline the services, responsiveness, and efficiency of SCDOT. As South Carolina continues to grow, it is critical that our infrastructure keeps pace to serve the needs of our citizens today and in the future! You can watch the meeting tomorrow at 1 PM here: scstatehouse.gov/video/strea…

Big thanks to the SC Senate for passing S. 244 — this is a huge step forward for lawsuit reform in South Carolina! 🙌
Over weeks of debate, the Senate made the bill even better — the way the process should work. This wasn’t about winners and losers — everyone came to the table and did what’s best for our state.
✅ Bipartisan support (35–7)
✅ Lower costs for businesses AND consumers
✅ Protects small businesses, customers, and entire industries
✅ Real reform — not just lip service
The Senate didn’t cave to inappropriate pressure — they listened, worked hard, and got it done. 💪
This is how South Carolina moves forward — together.
Now the bill moves to the House. Call your House member and ask them to vote YES on S. 244!

South Carolina needs commonsense tort reform to protect businesses both large and small from unfair liability and keep our economy strong.

A fair and balanced legal system is critical to strengthening our business environment, creating jobs, and keeping SC competitive. Thank you, @henrymcmaster, for your support. Let's pass S.244!

The rules on joint and several liability have introduced an element of uncertainty. And uncertainty is the enemy of prosperity. Let’s find a solution that will provide accountability, certainty, and just compensation without damaging our economy.

I’ve been listening to the people, leaders, and businesses of S.C. and they are calling for us to take action. I stand with Gov. McMaster in his call to the General Assembly to get this done.

It is time for tort reform in South Carolina. The current legal framework and rules are increasingly making South Carolina less competitive. We must strike a balance – ensuring justice for victims while protecting job creators from crippling lawsuits. Let’s get it done.
