SC House Judiciary subcommittee supports Obamacare nullification

COLUMBIA, S.C. (March 19, 2013) – On Tuesday, South Carolina moved a step closer to refusing cooperation with Obamacare, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

The House Judiciary Committee’s Constitutional Law Subcommittee recommended approval of H3101, with one amendment.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. William M. “Bill” Chumley, forbids any state or federal compliance with PPCACA provisions. However, it was amended to remove criminal penalties for federal officers who attempt to implement, or enforce Obamacare within South Carolina.

Tenth Amendment Center communications director Mike Maharrey praised the South Carolina House Judiciary subcommittee for the bill’s favorable recommendation, noting the power of state non-compliance.

“The feds depend on state agencies and resources to do pretty much everything. Just look at the so-called ‘war on drugs.’ You rarely, if ever, see a report about a federal drug bust that doesn’t say something like, ‘The DEA, in cooperation with state and local authorities…’ If enough states step up and simply refuse to cooperate with federal kidnapping, it will definitely throw up significant impediments and obstacles in their way.”

The bill will now move on to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.
