The bill S. 956 aims to amend Section 12-36-90 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically regarding the definition of gross proceeds of sales. The proposed amendment seeks to exclude amounts paid by state and local governments for contracts related to the Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet), which supports the Next Generation 911 system in South Carolina. This exclusion is intended to clarify the financial obligations of governmental entities in relation to emergency services.

If enacted, the changes will take effect on July 1, 2026. The bill is currently under consideration in the Senate Committee on Finance and was introduced by Senator Turner on February 25, 2026.
