South Carolina Budget Change Ends Health Proviso for Rural Magistrates
What happened
State Sen. Shane Martin pushed to strip a spending proviso from the state budget in South Carolina. This proviso allowed certain part-time state employees, including magistrates in participating counties, to join the state health plan. The practice will end this year, which some are concerned could affect the foundations of the state’s legal system.

Why it matters
The removal of the proviso means part-time magistrates lose eligibility for the state health plan. This change could lead to a potential exodus of these rural judges, impacting the stability and staffing of the state’s legal system.
