Legislative Reorganization Sets the Stage for South Carolina’s 126th Session

Last week, South Carolina legislators were back in Columbia for reorganization, where the House and Senate members elected their chamber leadership, selected their seats and received their committee assignments for the upcoming legislative session.

Representative Murrell Smith and Senator Thomas Alexander were re-elected to lead their respective chambers for the 126th Legislative Session. Their leadership will be key to driving the legislative agenda for the year ahead.

In terms of priorities, the House Republican Caucus has identified six pillars for progress, including:

  • Delivering historic tax cuts
  • Promoting business-friendly policies
  • Fueling South Carolina’s booming economy
  • Expanding educational opportunities
  • Prioritizing public safety and law-and-order policies
  • Strengthening families and communities

Meanwhile, the Senate Republican Caucus has placed a focus on school choice, income tax reduction, energy reform and tort reform.
