The legislative process can often be complex. Upon researching available online resources regarding South Carolina's legislative process, we found that the primary resource was an overly complicated PDF that is almost a decade old.
To address this, SCPC has developed a new, easily understandable graphic. This graphic is designed to help South Carolina citizens better understand the legislative process and track the progress of specific bills they support.
In simple terms, for a bill to become law, it must pass both the House and Senate and then be signed by the Governor. However, various stages within this process can influence the duration and ultimate success of the bill's passage.
For a step-by-step visual guide on how a bill becomes law in South Carolina, please refer to the infographic below. We trust this graphic will serve as a valuable and informative resource.
Note: This graphic does not encompass every possible route to passage or failure. Instead, it simplifies the process by illustrating the steps that occur in the vast majority of cases.
