Summary#
H-5801, titled “WCRS Radio,” is a South Carolina House resolution. It does not amend or create a general law; it formally congratulates WCRS on its 85th anniversary and commends the station’s service to Greenwood. Its stated goal is to recognize the station and wish it continued broadcasting. The supplied status calls it signed into law, but the text is a resolution and creates no enforceable legal duties.
- The House recognizes WCRS’s anniversary, which the resolution dates to September 1, 2026.
- It commends the station for its service to Greenwood and the surrounding community.
- It extends best wishes for the station’s future broadcasting.
