The bill, H. 4351, is a resolution introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives to honor the legacy of Mary Elizabeth Mullikin by renaming the BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Annual Legislative Softball Game to the "BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Mary Elizabeth Mullikin Annual Legislative Softball Game." The resolution highlights Mullikin's contributions to the community, her dedication to public service, and her positive impact on the legislative environment, emphasizing her work as a lawyer and lobbyist for BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, as well as her advocacy for victims of domestic abuse.
The resolution expresses the deep sadness felt by the members of the House following Mullikin's passing at the age of thirty-eight and reflects on her accomplishments, including her educational background, her work in the White House, and her commitment to fostering bipartisan relationships within the legislative community. By renaming the softball game in her honor, the resolution aims to create a lasting tribute to her spirit of service, friendship, and joy, which she embodied throughout her career. A copy of the resolution will be presented to BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and to Mullikin's family.
