Founded in 2021, The South Carolina Boating and Fishing Alliance (SCBFA) is a 501(c)(6) comprised of South Carolina’s boating and fishing manufacturers, dealers, retailers, boaters and anglers who represent $5 billion of commerce to the Palmetto State.
Governor Henry McMaster last week signed into law Senate Bill 219, marking a significant victory in the movement toward state management of the snapper-grouper fishery.
Championed by State Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R-Georgetown), the new law sets up a state-specific fishing season for all 55 species in the snapper-grouper species complex.
A growing group of municipal and county leaders from across South Carolina — including Columbia Mayor Daniel Rickenmann, Charleston Mayor William Cogswell, and Summerville Mayor Russ Touchberry — are calling on the General Assembly to pass H.3858 in a formal letter submitted last week to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bruce Bannister.
A major bipartisan push to cut South Carolina’s highest-in-the-nation boat property taxes gained momentum today as the House Ways & Means Property Tax Subcommittee unanimously advanced H.3858 to the full House Ways & Means committee. With over 50 bipartisan sponsors, the bill — led by Rep. Gary Brewer (R–Dorchester) — would slash property taxes on boats and motors by 50%, delivering long-overdue relief to hundreds of thousands of middle-class boat owners across the state.
South Carolina boat owners who pay some of the highest boat property taxes in the nation could soon see relief. This week, State senators led by Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R-Georgetown) introduced S. 317 in the South Carolina Senate. The bill, which is similar to H. 3858 introduced in the House last week with 40 bipartisan sponsors, will provide a 50% tax cut on watercraft in the state.
