We’re making great progress in reforming the antiquated South Carolina laws that ban direct-to-consumer auto sales. Your outreach is working. On Wednesday, February 12, the Business and Commerce Subcommittee will hold the first hearing on the South Carolina Consumer Freedom Act.
To be clear, this can be a moment where the bill either lives or dies. The dealer lobby is working hard to kill it. Legislators who were vocal supporters only days ago are, after speaking with the dealer lobby, now wavering.
We can only counter this by showing up on Wednesday. Whether coming to the SC statehouse to show support, to speak in favor of the bill, or to see the circus, we would greatly appreciate any and all help that SC Scouts can offer.
The details are attached, but in brief, the hearing will be held at 9:00 am on Wednesday in room 403 of the Blatt Building. Address is 1105 Pendleton St, Columbia, SC 29201. Crowds may be large, so you probably need to arrive 30 min early to get a seat.
The hearing rules aren’t exactly clear, but if you want to speak in support, there should be an opportunity to sign up before 9:00 when you enter the committee room.
