South Carolina lawmakers near end of legislative session
南卡羅來納州議員即將結束立法會期
As of late April 2026, the South Carolina General Assembly is approaching the final weeks of its current legislative session.
截至2026年4月下旬，南卡羅來納州議會已接近當前立法會期的最後幾週。
The session is scheduled to adjourn on May 14, 2026, a deadline formally known as Sine Die.
該會期預定於2026年5月14日休會，這個截止日期正式稱為「Sine Die」。
Because this marks the end of a two-year session, any bill that fails to gain final approval from both chambers and the Governor by this date will die, meaning it must be reintroduced from scratch in the next session.
由於這標誌著兩年會期的結束，任何未能在該日期前獲得兩院及州長最終批准的法案都將會失效，意味著必須在下一個會期重新提案。
Lawmakers are currently in a mad dash to finalize the $15 billion state budget, which includes plans for teacher raises, state employee salary increases, and infrastructure improvements.
議員們目前正在瘋狂衝刺，以敲定150億美元的州預算，其中包括教師加薪、州政府員工調薪及基礎設施改善計畫。
Beyond the budget, the Republican-led legislature is prioritizing issues such as tax reform, criminal justice, and public safety measures like immigration enforcement.
除了預算之外，由共和黨主導的議會正優先處理稅務改革、刑事司法以及移民執法等公共安全措施。
Other hot topics include school safety and strategies to address the state's healthcare provider shortage.
其他熱門話題還包括校園安全與解決該州醫療提供者短缺的策略。
With a Republican supermajority in both chambers and the Governor's office, the political landscape is highly focused on these specific policy goals.
由於共和黨在兩院及州長辦公室均擁有超多數優勢，政治局勢高度聚焦於這些特定的政策目標。
The final sprint is a delicate balancing act as legislators aim to reconcile budget differences and clear their agendas before the May 14 deadline.
最後的衝刺是一場精細的平衡博弈，議員們試圖在5月14日截止日前協調預算分歧並完成議程。
