Columbia S.C. (WSPA) - The South Carolina legislative session is less than one week away, and lawmakers are already pushing certain bills ahead early. Two committees met to discuss a bill that was passed before being struck down in September by the State Supreme Court. The bill, if passed, would modify the Education Scholarship Trust Fund. The bill involves the K-12 Education Lottery Scholarship Fund, and whether or not certain taxpayers' dollars should go to private schools. The South Carolina Senate Education Subcommittee first met Wednesday morning, followed by the Senate Education Full Committee. The Chair of the Committee Senator Greg Hembree said he thinks the Supreme Court will not be opposed to this new bill. "[The] Supreme court has told us it's going to be constitutional. That's what I think," Hembree said. "That's what I think they're telling us when they say it's that lottery money is something different, that it doesn't go through the general assembly and the general fund, they seem to find some distinction there." But some lawmakers had concerns. Minority Leader and Senator Brad Hutto said the bill does not follow the State Constitution. Senator Hutto also believes residents do not want to spend money on private schools. "If there's a desire to change that, let's do the right thing and put it, put it to the voters, and if the voters agree with that, if they think that that's a wise use of public money," Hutto said. Senator Darrell Jackson raised concerns that people were missing, therefore it wasn't a completely full committee meeting, he wondered why it had to be so urgent. "Would that one week really make a difference in the eventual outcomes of these families?" Jackson said. "The bill is very similar to the last bill we passed with several key policy questions; they're going to become pretty clear, and those will have to be debated. Those policy questions will have to be debated on the floor regardless," Hembree replied. Hembree said even though the state supreme court hasn't seen the updated bill, he believes the court will support this bill.
