Republican-controlled SC House passes paid leave for state employees
The South Carolina House has passed a paid leave plan for state employees, and it includes twelve weeks of leave after the adoption or birth of a child. Should the legislation make it through the Senate and on to Governor McMaster’s desk, he intends to sign it into law. “I wish we could pay law enforcement more, a lot of people,” he says. “We need to help them as much as we can and [paid family leave is] one way we can.”
