COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A bill aimed at strengthening cyber-security across state government may be dead for the year, but legislators expect to incorporate the essentials into the state budget.

With less than two weeks remaining in the regular session, the House Ways and Means Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to postpone further debate on the measure. Both Democrats and Republicans said they’re concerned about rushing a bill that creates a new agency and spends untold millions of dollars for years to come.
