Let’s talk about laws this morning, guys. Laws comes from South Carolina Legislature, which is a group of men and women that we (the public) select to represent our respective districts.
O South Carolina Legislature It is divided inside two parts called Chamber of Deputies + The Senate and together these people create The general meeting. The House of Representatives is composed of 124 members + the Senate has 46 members.
O general meeting is in session in second Tuesday of January to second Thursday in May, but the session can be extended for specific circumstances. While the General Assembly is in session, all members participate in drafting or amending laws and all members can make ‘suggestions’ for new laws. These suggestions are how we managed accounts.
