Good morning, Rock Hill.
South Carolina lawmakers debated a bill that would require parental consent using a government-issued ID for minors to access social media.
Supporters said the measure would protect children’s mental health while critics worried it collects extra personal data — the Senate committee will review the proposal further.
A Senate subcommittee looked at a bill from Sen. Michael Johnson (from Tega Cay) that would let people bet on horse races using their phones and take 5% of wagers to help horse farms and tracks.
Lawmakers will meet again before a vote while supporters say it will help the horse industry and opponents worry it might increase gambling.
Tega Cay was named the best place to live in South Carolina for 2025 by Niche because it earned an A+ rating for its great public schools, low crime, and family-friendly atmosphere.
A Main Street development set to start in spring 2026 is expected to add new homes, jobs, and retail spaces—further boosting the town's appeal.
