Tell Your Senator You Support Tort Reform

Enacting meaningful lawsuit reform to bring stability and predictability to businesses and their customers is one of our highest legislative priorities in 2025. Without significant tort reform this year, some businesses may be forced to close, while others will struggle to control costs and make cuts instead of focusing on growth opportunities.

Foundationally, S.244 is a tort reform package aimed at repairing South Carolina's flawed civil justice system and addresses the insurance issues plaguing the Palmetto State. It seeks to enhance the state's economic competitiveness by ensuring that individuals and businesses are held responsible solely for the damages they directly cause, rather than being liable for the actions of others.

The bill is sponsored by Sen. Shane Massey (R-Edgefield), Senate President Thomas Alexander (R-Oconee), Sen. Rex Rice (R-Pickens), Sen. Ross Turner (R-Greenville), Sen. Wes Climer (R-York), Sen. Kent Williams (D-Marion), Sen. Sean Bennett (R-Dorchester), Sen. Ronnie Cromer (R-Newberry), Sen. Larry Grooms (R-Berkeley), Sen. Allen Blackmon (R-Lancaster), and Sen. JD Chaplin (R-Darlington).

By taking just a few minutes to tell your senator you support the tort reform in S.244 we can finally help provide the relief businesses desperately need sooner rather than later.
