COLUMBIA, S.C. Many South Carolina lawmakers have pre-filed bills ahead of the 2021 legislative session. They aim to tackle issues from public health to police reform.
President of the Senate, Republican Harvey Peeler, introduced a bill that would restructure the Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Peeler argued the state should combine DHEC’s health sector with the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services.
Then DHEC s environmental responsibilities would be divided among other agencies like the Department of Natural Resources.
