COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina House members have introduced nearly 100 new bills they hope to make into laws next year.

The proposals range from creating a hate crime law in South Carolina to increasing the fine for vandalizing political signs to preventing anyone under 18 from undergoing gender reassignment treatments

to adding 10 years to the prison sentence for each bullet fired during a fatal shooting.

Senators get their chance next month to file bills before the 2020 session.
