Audit SCDOT spending
Audit the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
Occurrences
Evidence
S*0831/R156 (SCDOT Modernization) amends Section 57-1-360 to require an independent audit every four years; the bill page records ratification on 2026-05-14 and gubernatorial signature on 2026-05-18.
On 2026-01-08, Mace proposed the Pothole Accountability Act, which would make SCDOT publish a pothole dashboard, repair-age counts, explanations for slow fixes, and weekly county response stats.
Assessments
South Carolina enacted S.0831/R156 in May 2026, requiring an independent SCDOT audit every four years, so the substantive audit outcome occurred during Mace's current federal term. However, the enacted bill was a South Carolina state measure sponsored and passed by state officials, and the provided evidence does not show that Mace wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced that audit provision. Her Pothole Accountability Act was a serious SCDOT accountability effort but did not itself require the audit. Given limited candidate credit for the completed audit, partial credit is more appropriate than full delivery.
