Message From the President
The SC Chamber has published the annual Legislative Scorecard since 2010 to provide the state’s business community and public with the information on how legislators cast their vote on business-friendly issues. We believe you will find the 2018 South Carolina Chamber of Commerce Legislative Scorecard informative. The 2018 session was a legislative year like no other with the General Assembly’s focus on the failure of the VC Summer nuclear project. In 2018 the General Assembly gave the business community some key wins. We made progress on our efforts to roll back burdensome regulations with reform to: • The automatic stay, a provision that previously allowed any party to hold up a permit indefinitely without cause • Nuisance laws to ensure protection for manufacturers from frivolous law suits • South Carolina’s agribusiness atmosphere to make us more competitive with Georgia and North Carolina The legislature also focused on workforce pipeline issues by passing ex-offender workforce reintegration laws to get offenders back to work and lower recidivism rates. Finally, we saw success when the legislature overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that, if adopted by the voters, will help public education by allowing the Governor to nominate the State Superintendent of Education which will provide for more focus and accountability in public education. The State Chamber will continue to advocate for pro-jobs policies to strengthen the business climate in our state. Our Legislative Scorecard serves as a tool to provide transparency and accountability. I hope you will take the time to look at our 2018 business advocates and thank them for their efforts to keep South Carolina the best place to live, work, and do business.
Ted Pitts, President & CEO South Carolina Chamber of Commerce

HOUSE VOTES
SC House Date %
4-Year Average Scores for the Representatives were calculated by averaging the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 scores. Members sworn in after the close of the 2014 session did not receive a 4-Year Average Score. Legislators do not earn points for votes on which they abstained or were absent.
