Senate

The Senate plans to meet on Friday, November 12, for public comment on their staff proposal for S. C. Senate redistricting, which is available for review at https://redistricting.scsenate.gov/planproposal.html. We appreciate the Senate decision to take testimony on plan submissions prior to final development of their own map and to provide adequate time for evaluation of their staff proposal before public testimony is solicited. The time and place of this meeting have not yet been posted but an agenda is expected at www.scstatehouse.gov

House

Late this afternoon the House Redistricting Committee released their draft S. C. House of Representatives plan at www.Redistricting.SCHouse.gov
 
They have verified today that they continue to expect public testimony at their noon, Wednesday, November 10, meeting in Blatt 110 on plans submitted by third parties (although that testimony will have no impact on their plan, which is already drafted) and also on their proposed plan.
 
The House plan will be embodied in H.4493, which is currently posted online as a shell bill without map definition content. The Committee may have a second meeting on Friday, November 12, at 10, “if necessary.” 
 

And so it goes on November 8, 2021.
