By Lindsay Street, Statehouse correspondent | At least one more legislative day is needed to release $180 million in state disaster response to the coronavirus pandemic and to continue funding the government beyond the end of the June 30 fiscal year.
State legislators met April 8 in a one-day session after weeks of staying away from Columbia to curb the spread of the coronavirus. In an effort to release aid money and pass a budget before the May 14 end of session, the House and Senate agreed to meet before the virus’ predicted peak in the state.
