How to Understand Legislative Session – Virtual Workshop

Join AFFA Action for a virtual workshop designed to demystify the South Carolina legislative process. Whether you're brand new to following legislation or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will walk you through how the Legislature operates, what key terms really mean, and how to effectively track and influence bills that impact LGBTQ+ communities.

We’ll cover:

  • How the SC Legislature is structured

  • How a bill becomes a law (and where it usually gets stuck)

  • Key terms like prefiling, crossover, sine die, amendments, and concurrence

  • Hot topics expected this legislative session

  • How legislation directly and indirectly affects LGBTQ+ South Carolinians

  • How to get involved: tracking bills, contacting legislators, testifying, and joining rapid response networks

  • What to expect during the fast-moving session ahead

A Q&A and resource list will be included.
Zoom link and materials will be emailed to all registrants.
