Legislative Watchlist
The two-year session of the South Carolina General Assembly started on January 14, 2025. Sine Die, the day of adjournment, is scheduled for May 8, 2025.
While there are many regulatory and legislative initiatives important to Wholespire, the primary focus in the first year of the session will be continuing to advance legislation through the process to achieve Healthy School Meals for All public-school children while at school and ensuring that Physical Education and Physical Activity are prioritized in public schools.
