👏 #SCLeg Rep James Mikell “Mike” Burns files H-4026 to end Daylight Saving Time via permanent Standard Time. Bill is referred to Judiciary Committee, chaired by Reps Weston Newton, John King, and Jay Jordan. Please support! 👏 This can end clock change and preserve morning light—for health, safety, education, economy. Southern Sleep Society, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, National Safety Council, American Medical Association, and dozens more endorse this policy. YES on H-4026 in South Carolina! 👏
The Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act is trending. Proposed #SCLeg amends #SC law by enacting the "families' rights and responsibilities act" to recognize that parents have the ultimate responsibility to direct the upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of their children

Note that Burns is the lone sponsor of 3197, but a co on 3485, both prefiled at the same time. It will be important to see whether 3197 gains sponsors, but my suspicion is that #SCleg is going to put more effort into the battle over schools. This would be consistent with the national #GOP agenda. 3485 focuses heavily on parental advisory and school board involvement, which is noteworthy given ADF's 2022 focus on packing boards with GOP operatives.
