HB 4134 extends an existing South Carolina tax credit for startups, ensuring that the credit does not lapse until 2035. CPAC believes that it is unjust for governments to provide special favors to a certain type of business while other taxpayers bear the burden, and it opposes this bill. The South Carolina House of Representatives passed HB 4134 on April 22, 2025, in a 90-19 vote. The South Carolina Senate did not take a floor vote on the measure before the end of the 2025 legislative session.
