Columbia, SC—State lawmakers are back in Columbia, on Tuesday, to fix an oversight that is keeping the state from extending unemployment benefits.
Lawmakers needed to change a state law, to make the state eligible for extra stimulus money from Washington, to extend those benefits.
Lawmakers did not do it during the regular session, they say, because the South Carolina Employment Security Commission didn’t make it clear it was so important.
One state lawmaker also plans to introduce an impeachment resolution against Governor Mark Sanford. That’s expected to be sent to a committee,with no further action Tuesday.
House leaders are hoping they’ll be in session for only two days, to fix the unemployment mistake.
