Representative Bill Whitmire has agreed to co-sponsor the South Carolina Bill of Digital Rights when it is filed. He has represented House District 1 since 2003, bringing long experience in the legislature to this growing effort.

We are grateful for his willingness to help bring this citizen-authored proposal into a wider legislative conversation about privacy, due process, and accountable government technology.

A shared standard

Where rights bring us together

The South Carolina proposal is built around protections that matter regardless of party: clear limits on government power and practical accountability when technology affects people.

01 / PRIVACY

Our information deserves protection.

Personal data, communications, biometrics, and location information should retain legal protection as technology changes.

02 / DUE PROCESS

People deserve a fair hearing.

Consequential automated government decisions should be open to meaningful human review.

03 / ACCOUNTABILITY

Public power stays answerable.

A government agency should not avoid constitutional duties by obtaining data or services through a contractor.

What happens next

From public proposal
to legislative debate.

The published text is available now. Sponsorship and prefiling would begin the formal legislative journey, where the language can be reviewed, debated, and refined.
