COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mike Brenan today released the following statement in response to the General Assembly’s passage of a tort reform/liquor liability compromise, H.3430:

“Today, the General Assembly took a meaningful step towards rectifying aspects of South Carolina’s civil justice system that cost our businesses and families millions of dollars each year, while also delivering immediate relief to a hospitality industry in crisis. However, the work cannot stop here. The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce will continue to work with members of the General Assembly to fight for the additional reforms needed to bring even more accountability and fairness to state’s civil justice system.”
