Oklahoma City, Oklah. — A dispute over a denied roof claim for a Tulsa family has landed before the Oklahoma Supreme Court in a case that could reshape how insurance companies handle claims across the state and determine whether the state attorney general can intervene.

State Farm argues the case is unconstitutional.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond says it is not and has joined the case, saying the state needs enforcement power when policyholders cannot pursue claims on their own. “If the insurance commissioner cannot enforce these laws and the attorney general cannot enforce these laws then we have created a chasm in the state of Oklahoma through which foreign corporations can come in and injure Oklahomans with reckless disregard,” Drummond said.

State Farm is accused of improperly denying hail and wind damage claims, affecting thousands of Oklahomans.

Billy Hursh, identified as a Tulsa police officer who sued State Farm after his roof claim was denied, said he believes the company’s conduct went far beyond his family’s case.

Asked about State Farm’s “like a good neighbor” branding, Hursh responded, “Show me. Prove it.”

An attorney representing Drummond is using RICO, a law often used in organized crime cases, to argue the company carried out a coordinated pattern of wrongdoing.

Drummond said his involvement is aimed at representing policyholders who cannot afford legal help. “This is the attorney general representing all of the State Farm policy holders who cannot afford or don’t have access to an attorney. That’s why I’m in,” Drummond said.

During arguments, justices weighed whether the case is a consumer protection issue or a contract dispute that belongs in district court.

Hursh alleges it’s widespread misconduct. “This was a pervasive scheme that wasn’t just done to us it was done to thousands of people across Oklahoma to the tune of millions or maybe even billions of dollars,” Hursh said.

State Farm told FOX 25 it has paid more than $1 billion in Oklahoma wind and hail claims over the past two years and strongly denies any wrongdoing.

Drummond said his investigation could expand beyond State Farm. “There is smoke and I’m following the smoke to find the fire,” he said.

The court’s decision could expand or limit the attorney general’s power to intervene in private lawsuits and could affect how insurers handle claims statewide.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina will remain one of the few states without a hate crime law after a proposal to study such legislation failed in the state Senate, despite renewed attention to rising hate crime reports and years of repeated attempts in the General Assembly.

The House has passed hate crime legislation multiple times over the past decade, but each effort has stalled in the Senate. This year, Democratic Sen. Deon Tedder of Charleston pursued a narrower approach, proposing the creation of a study committee to examine what a hate crime law could look like in South Carolina rather than advancing a bill outright.

Tedder said the absence of a state law sends a troubling message.

“When there is no state law that says hate-motivated crimes matter, that message of institutional indifference is heard loud and clear,” Tedder said.

Tedder cited recent FBI crime data showing a sharp increase in reported hate crimes across the state.

“In 2023, hate crimes in South Carolina rose nearly 100%. From a national FBI crime data report, it rose from 66 reported offenses in 2022 to 115 reported in 2023,” Tedder said.

The proposal failed to advance. Still, five Republican senators voted in favor of the study committee, a notable shift in a chamber that has consistently blocked hate crime legislation.

As a result, South Carolina will continue to stand among a small number of states without a hate crime law. And with the 2026 gubernatorial race underway, significant change appears unlikely.

At a recent Republican gubernatorial debate, most candidates publicly opposed passing a hate crime law.

Republican Sen. Josh Kimbrell of Spartanburg said such legislation could infringe on religious liberty.

“I will never pass a bill that’s going to restrict religious liberty,” Kimbrell said.

U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., was more direct.

“Should we pass a hate crimes law? Absolutely not,” Norman said.

Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette said she also opposes such legislation, noting she and Gov. Henry McMaster have discussed the issue for years.

“I would not support a hate crime bill,” Evette said.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., questioned the concept itself.

“There is no such thing as a hate crime, because every crime is a hate crime,” Mace said.

Attorney General Alan Wilson echoed similar concerns, saying he would oppose any bill he believes limits constitutional rights.

“As governor, I will never support a bill that criminalizes your free speech,” Wilson said.

Lowcountry businessman Rom Reddy criticized political leaders broadly, arguing the issue is fueled by division.

“All this division and hate is created by the political class because that’s what gives them all the power they have,” Reddy said.

With the legislative session nearing its end and the Senate showing little appetite for revisiting the issue, South Carolina is unlikely to adopt a hate crime law this year.
