SC Chamber Releases 2024 Competitiveness Agenda
Earlier this week before the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce’s annual legislative session kickoff event, Business Speaks, the SC Chamber released its annual Competitiveness Agenda which details the business community’s top legislative priorities as the 2024 session begins.
The Competitiveness Agenda, developed annually, consists of policies impacting job creators and businesses from varying industries and regions across the state. The South Carolina Chamber board approved the 2024 Competitiveness Agenda after conducting extensive grassroots outreach to hear directly from business leaders throughout S.C. about what their top challenges are in the current business climate. The SC Chamber team engaged with nearly 900 local business leaders from over 40 local chambers during the organization’s 26-stop Grassroots Tour, which helped formulate the 2024 Competitiveness Agenda.
The five areas indicated by business leaders that they would like the General Assembly to focus on during the 2024 legislative session are:
- Establishing a Flourishing & Resilient Talent Pipeline
- Bringing Fairness to an Unfair Tort System
- Ensuring Continued Economic Growth & Prosperity
- Modernizing the Tax Code
- Letting Businesses Do Business
