Supreme Court of South Carolina

South Carolina Public Interest Foundation and Edward D. Sloan Jr.

January 4, 2019822 S.E.2d 805

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that Act 275 of 2016 complies with the One Subject Rule of the State Constitution and affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint. The Court found the act’s title sufficiently informs the public and that all provisions relate to the single general subject of improving the state’s transportation infrastructure. The Court declined to address standing and mootness because the constitutional issue was not a close question.
