Show Notes
Beaufort County, South Carolina, is drafting a local ordinance to combat bias-motivated crimes, aiming to pressure state lawmakers to pass a stronger statewide hate crime law. The countys approach aligns with nearby areas like Bluffton, Hardeeville, and the city of Beaufort, which already have local protections in place. Despite a hate crime bill passing the House of Representatives twice, it has stalled in the Senate due to opposition from Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey.
