In South Carolina, there are several odd and outdated laws that are still part of the state constitution, including bans on working on Sundays, selling certain items, and operating pinball machines for those under 18. These laws are often flagged when new legislation is proposed, and it takes a new bill to remove them from the state code of laws. Legislators are focused on proposing new bills each session, but they do address outdated laws when they are brought to their attention.

Representative Chandra Dillard emphasized the importance of reporting outdated laws to lawmakers so they can be addressed. There are roughly 3,000 bills proposed each legislative session, making it a priority for legislators to focus on new legislation. Some of the quirky laws in South Carolina include penalties for scaring horses, restrictions on selling certain items on Sundays, and prohibitions on seducing a woman with the promise of marriage without following through. It is important for legislators to review the state code of laws when proposing new legislation to identify and remove outdated laws.
