Senate Subcommittee Hearing on H.4624 on February 14, 2024
We've just received word that the Medical Affairs Subcommittee of the South Carolina Senate has scheduled a hearing for H.4624, a bill proposing a ban on gender-affirming care. The hearing will take place on Wednesday, February 14 at 10:00 am.
If the bill passes the subcommittee, the full Senate Medical Affairs Committee will likely consider it at their regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, February 15th.
3 Ways to Take Action:
Contact your Senator: Click here to send a message to your Senator and tell them to reject H.4624.
Attend Wednesday's Hearing in Person: Show the Senate that we mean business by attending the subcommittee hearing on Wednesday in Room 308 in the Gressette Building (1101 Pendleton Street, Columbia, SC). Sign-ups will be available at the door 30 minutes before the hearing, but the subcommittee will only allow "equal participation from both perspectives," so if only 1 person shows up to speak in favor of the bill, only 1 person may be allowed to speak against it. Reply to this email and let us know if you plan to come so that we can provide support if needed.
Submit Written Testimony: You can submit your input by sending an email to scmedicomm@scsenate.gov. Please use the bill number (H. 4624) in the subject line of your email. All written testimony should be received by noon on Monday.
If you have any questions about this bill or action you can take, please reach out to us at action@affa-sc.org.
