Rebecca, a committee staff member, summarized the bills as a package that \"would regulate social media use for minors\" and listed provisions including data-protection and design controls, parental tools, restrictions on targeted advertising, transparency and reporting requirements, and enforcement by the Attorney General.

The senator from Dorchester, who sponsored the bills, framed the measure as a response to growing evidence of harm to youth tied to social-media design. \"We have an epidemic going on right now with our youth, of of some real damage being done by social media. I I don't think it's it's arguable anymore,\" the senator said, adding that the bills aim to set parameters so platforms produce \"a product that's safe for teens to use\" without prescribing specific technical implementations.

A central enforcement question discussed was whether only the Attorney General should bring enforcement actions or whether solicitors or private parties should be allowed to sue. \"The inclusion of the attorney general in this respect is not so much for his criminal authority, but for his civil authority,\" one senator said, explaining the committee's choice to limit enforcement to civil suits by the Attorney General rather than local solicitors.

Committee members expressed widespread concern about platform design that may target vulnerable minors and weaken parental controls. Members cited testimony received at prior subcommittee hearings from teachers, principals and medical professionals describing increased anxiety, depression and other harms among adolescents tied to social-media use.

The sponsor offered an amendment to explicitly exempt subscription-based streaming services (for example, Netflix or Paramount\"-style services) from the bill's coverage so that the text is narrowly tailored to interactive social-media products. The amendment passed by voice vote and was then applied to both the senate and house bills. The sponsor moved that the committee give both bills a favorable report; the motion passed, and both bills were reported out favorably as amended.

Committee document and next steps: the bills, as amended, move to the legislative floor for further debate. Members said they intend to continue work on some language and potential additional floor amendments, including the scope of enforcement and any private right of action.

Votes and formal actions described in the committee record appear to have been taken by voice vote; the committee adopted the streaming-service exemption and reported both bills favorably as amended.","The LCI committee favorably reported S.268 and the companion H.3431 — Age Appropriate Design Code bills targeting social media design and data practices affecting minors — after adopting an amendment exempting streaming services and limiting enforcement to the attorney general.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6267641,"Committee asks agency to resubmit funeral-service regulation, sends bill clarifying 'physical attendance' to floor",639,172000,811000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3069525-9434f0850a14df59b5a9ad753b120753&start=172&end=811","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3069525-9434f0850a14df59b5a9ad753b120753/thumbnail_172000.jpg","/articles/6267641/South-Carolina/Committee-asks-agency-to-resubmit-funeral-service-regulation-sends-bill-clarifying-physical-attendance-to-floor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6267641-7e5d8667e3792da62c76b347da1408af/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445309&Signature=dsAwQH6DNodNUx~oBfgJa4uvd0y1HJBoaYa-12aw-z2vADOT6cu3ENtRMvnTwMl3J38pnKE5lQqdfRRkr2E05BtXaymD-byu8cVhkABUpzQJjnWaMQeMcFIKjY7Zo-s1WgcNELlE-IEaIjOKARVM7YeBR1II2HauyIZhMnznZ5v7BmzeeghRgl0spR3vaBpAk5B2L-s5Dp3eVGteQ-so3uXbFjxFBvsjaTEGhXXNG9KWeWHp~KRjU9ehTgJ4GPgPXIZrUwQfP2huq4dVtKxCoZtEf~QBAIXJOcncVakU9AWSP-WsaUztsPjS46cRCstS2z6RxL4VOICRAcifU3GuXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The LCI full committee on Jan. 1, 2025 asked the Department to withdraw and resubmit a proposed regulation for the State Board of Funeral Service that contains a disputed continuing-education clause, and it favorably reported Senate Bill S-583 to clarify the statute's physical-attendance requirement.

Committee staff told members the regulation had been withdrawn and resubmitted by the House and that the resubmission was intended to clarify continuing-education language. \"The House requested that the regulation be withdrawn and resubmitted to clarify that physical attendance includes the option to attend online synchronous education, where the instructors and attendees can interact with each other in real time,\" Rebecca, a committee staff member, said.

The debate centered on a statutory sentence the committee called internally inconsistent: the statute allows a minimum of four hours annually and permits three hours by correspondence while also requiring two hours of physical attendance. The senator from Edgefield told members the subcommittee reviewed the language and concluded \"physical attendance means in person. In person.\" He said the House earlier asked the agency to resubmit language allowing interactive virtual participation, but the Senate subcommittee and several board members disagreed with that interpretation.

To resolve the inconsistency, the committee voted to ask the Department to withdraw the proposed regulation except for Article 4 (the continuing-education provision), effectively removing the contested continuing-education language from the current regulatory package. \"My motion is that the Committee request that the Department withdraw the regulation as proposed and resubmit it by everything except for Article 4, which deals with the continuing education requirements,\" the senator from Edgefield said. The motion carried and was ordered.

Separately, committee members considered S-583, a bill that would keep the four-hour annual requirement but specify that at least two of the four hours must be \"in person.\" The senator who presented the bill said the draft uses clear language to exclude virtual options for those two hours. He moved that the committee give S-583 a favorable report; the motion was seconded and passed, and the bill was reported out favorably.

The committee record shows extended subcommittee discussion and a division among Board of Funeral Service members over whether interactive virtual sessions satisfy \"physical attendance.\" The committee's actions leave the regulatory package intact except for the continuing-education provision while sending statutory language to the floor to resolve the inconsistency.

Committee action and next steps: the Department was asked to withdraw and resubmit the regulation without Article 4; S-583 was reported favorably and will move to the legislative floor for further consideration.","The full LCI committee voted to ask the agency to withdraw and resubmit a proposed regulation for the Board of Funeral Service with the continuing-education provision removed, and it favorably reported bill S-583, which would define \"physical attendance\" as in person and require two of four annual continuing-education hours be in person.","actionData","errors"]
