South Carolina activates price gouging law for Hurricane Helene under Governor McMaster's state of emergency.
South Carolina's price gouging law is now active due to Governor Henry McMaster's state of emergency declaration ahead of Hurricane Helene. The law prohibits unfairly high prices on essential goods and can lead to a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail for violators. Residents suspecting price gouging should document details such as time, place, and prices, and report findings to the Attorney General's office via email or online.
