Republican Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina has signed an executive order directing state agencies to stop using race-based quotas and set‑asides in future state contracts. He called the existing minority contracting requirements unconstitutional and urged lawmakers to repeal them when they return to Columbia in January, a move also backed by Senate President Thomas Alexander and House Speaker Murrell Smith.
