A bill that would protect the identities of companies providing lethal injection drugs is now before the full South Carolina Senate. The state’s last batch of lethal injection drugs expired in 2013. Republican leaders say the state cannot restock its supply because South Carolina lacks a statute shielding the providing drug companies' identities. The proposed shield is also now broader. A Senate committee voted Thursday to strip the proposal of language that Sen. Greg Hembree says has still given companies’ cold feet in other states with similar laws. A lobbyist for the ACLU of South Carolina says the amendment’s passage is a loss for accountability.
