    South Carolina's 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure

    South Carolina’s 2016 Transportation Funding Bond Measure Title of Bill: South Carolina S.1258 Result: Signed into law by Governor Nikki Haley (R) on June 8, 2016 Purpose: South Carolina lawmakers created short-term transportation funding legislation that utilizes over $200 million in existing fees to borrow approximately $2.2 billion to fund major interstate and bridge projects over the next decade. This bill also gives the Governor much more influence in the selection of members to the Commission of the Department of Transportation, which provides regulatory oversight to the use of transportation revenues included in this legislation. History South Carolina Transportation Revenue South Carolina’s transportation budget for the Fiscal Year 2015-16 totaled approximately $1.62 billion. These revenues came from a variety of streams at the state, local, and federal leveli: Federal Reimbursement under the FAST Act and fund matching generated $902 million, or about 56 percent of total transportation revenue. South Carolina’s motor fuel excise tax (which is 16 cents per gallon for both gasoline and dieselii) generated $456 million, or about 28 percent of total transportation revenue. o $351 million of this tax was generated from gasoline revenue, and $105 million was generated from diesel revenue, indicating 22 percent and 6 percent revenue contributions respectively. Non-Federal Aid, which is comprised of various taxes and fees including sales taxes, license fees, electric fees, and inspection taxes generated $106 million, or about six percent of total transportation revenue. General Fund transfers generated $79 million in revenue, or about five percent of total transportation revenue.

In this publication we have selected several key votes from the 121st General Assembly (January 2015–June 2016), and used those roll calls to score each legislator on family-related issues. By reading the descriptions of the issues and looking at your legislator’s votes, you can determine if your legislator has been a leader for the family, or if he or she has made the work of defending family values more diffi cult. Palmetto Family Alliance is a 501c(4) non-profi t organization. We are the legislative action arm of Palmetto Family. We exist to promote, protect, and preserve family values, and to make South Carolina a great place to live and raise a family. As part of that mission, we monitor and educate the state legislature on issues relevant to family values. These issues range from state policy on education and taxes, to social issues like life and marriage. As you will see on the pages that follow, the 121st session was very successful for us. Several of the bills we liked were passed and every bill we rated detrimental to the family was defeated. If you would like more information on pro-family legislative action, please visit our Action Center at www.PalmettoAlliance.org or e-mail us at [email protected] and ask to be added to our e-mail list.

    2016 Issue South Carolina Chamber of Commerce Message From the President 1301 Gervais St, Suite 1100 Each year, the South Carolina Columbia, SC 29201 Chamber of Commerce 803.799.4601 publishes a scorecard to keep www. scchamber.net the state’s business community informed as to how their @scchamber legislators voted on business facebook.com/scchamber issues at the Statehouse, and we are excited to release the 2016 Legislative Scorecard. The Legislative Scorecard is a publication of By and large, the General Assembly and business community had a productive year in 2016. As a result, we have a record number of legislators being recognized as Business Advocates for this legislative session. The bulk of the work from this legislature focused on two key economic drivers: workforce development and improving the condition of our roads and bridges. The legislators acknowledged within our report specifically deserve credit for taking steps to address those two areas of concern. In addition to workforce and infrastructure, several other vital business issues came before the General Assembly in 2016, including an attempt to repeal our Right to Work laws, tort reform, military retirement benefits, and aid for our farmers following October’s President & CEO historic flood. On these issues and many more, the SC Ted Pitts Chamber served as your voice at the Statehouse. Vice President of Membership & Marketing Sunny Philips The Legislative Scorecard is also used as a guide by the Chamber’s political arm, the South Carolina Vice President of Government Affairs Good Government Committee, as it looks to support & Public Policy candidates attuned to the needs of the business Mark Harmon community and defeat those who are not.
