TL;DR - H.4756 passed, we need your help
URGENT: Tell Governor McMaster to VETO H.4756.
Yesterday, the House voted to pass the anti-trans bathroom bill. There is still opportunity to stop H.4756 from becoming law: Governor McMaster must veto the bill. Urge him to say "NO" to discrimination here. (Sending an email will take one minute of your time!)
Want to be more direct? Here is a script you can use to call the Governor's office at (803) 734-2100:
"Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I'm calling from [City, SC].
I am urging Governor McMaster to veto H.4756. This bill is dangerous and deeply flawed—it targets transgender and gender non-conforming people while putting everyone at risk. It is vague, unenforceable, and violates federal court rulings, including the Fourth Circuit's decision in Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board.
As a South Carolinian, I want our Governor to listen to what people in this state actually want, and I can tell you, I do not want this bill to pass or target the children in my community. If signed into law, H.4756 would open the door to harassment and harm in everyday spaces like restrooms and locker rooms, especially for our youth.
Please deliver this message to the Governor: Veto H.4756. Thank you.”
For your radar:
S.1095 (Total abortion ban): Medical Affairs Committee Hearing occurred Tuesday and testimonies were given. On Wednesday, the bill passed out of the committee.
May 14, 5:00PM is "Sine Die," or the end of the legislative session where remaining active bills die and must be reintroduced in the next session.
