The bill, S. 952, is a Senate resolution that aims to recognize the vital contributions of care workers in South Carolina by declaring the month of April as "Care Workers Recognition Month." The resolution emphasizes the essential role that care workers play in supporting families, raising children, assisting seniors, and aiding individuals with disabilities. It highlights the challenges faced by these workers, including low pay and workforce shortages exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately affect women and people of color, thereby widening existing wealth gaps.

The resolution calls upon all South Carolinians to celebrate and honor care workers through various ceremonies, activities, and programs, reinforcing the message that their work is invaluable and deserving of recognition and fair compensation. The Senate encourages the community to acknowledge the dedication and impact of care workers on the health and well-being of the state, affirming their importance in the fabric of society and the economy.
