Evidence

The Executive Budget recommendations for Fiscal Year 2026-27 total $42.8 billion, including General Funds of $13,246,162,593 in FY26 and $14,037,887,021 in FY27.

South Carolina's FY2026-27 executive budget sits well above the claimed $11.6 billion cap, showing the commitment was not achieved in the current budget.

The official budget page shows H. 5126 advancing through introduction, House passage, Senate committee report, Senate passage, and a House amendment on May 6, 2026.

The state budget process is still active and the latest official bill versions indicate no enacted spending cap matching the promise has been documented yet.

Assessments

never unknown

The promised outcome was a South Carolina state General Fund spending cap at 2022-2023 levels, about $11.6 billion annually. The available budget evidence for FY2026-27 shows General Fund amounts of about $13.25 billion in FY26 and $14.04 billion in FY27, well above the promised cap. The 2026-2027 appropriations process was still active as of May 6, 2026, but no enacted or materially advanced cap matching the promise is documented. Because Nancy Mace is a federal representative and the evidence does not show she wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced a successful state spending cap, this should not be credited as delivered. No serious failed legislative or executive attempt by the candidate is shown in the supplied evidence, so no effort badge applies.
