Understand the process they want you to believe still works
We’ll start with the textbook version of how a bill should become law in South Carolina. You’ll learn how the three readings, committee review, and public vote are supposed to protect you. Then we’ll show you where it falls apart and why the official process is mostly theater.

You’ll see exactly how bills get hijacked, why committee assignments are often strategic maneuvers, and how lobbyists and special interests control the wording instead of your legislator. We’ll expose the timing tricks, carryover loopholes, and the real reason everything feels confusing.

Bring your questions and get real answers. We’ll talk through what’s confusing, what’s really happening behind the scenes, and how to spot it before it’s too late. The real learning happens during Q&A.

Because bad laws don’t look bad, until they pass
We’ll show you how simple wording mistakes, lazy cut-and-paste jobs, and hidden agendas end up creating laws that backfire. 

We’ll walk you through exactly what to look at before you dive in: sponsors, summaries, scope, and subtle clues that reveal more than you’d think. Knowing how to approach a bill is half the battle.

Now it’s your turn, because reading a bill is a skill.
You’ll get real bills, real tools, and a group to tackle them with. Then we’ll talk through what you found. This is where citizens become dangerous to bad legislation.
