COLUMBIA, S.C. — DoorDash is weighing on a bill that would allow curbside delivery or pick up for alcohol from apps such as DoorDash and Uber Eats, according to Channel 9 affiliate, WCIV.
The plans are one step closer to becoming official. House Bill 4364 was passed in the SC House on Thursday. The bill would allow a retailer to offer curbside delivery or pick up for alcohol products.
A spokesperson for DoorDash released the following statement regarding the sending of the bill to the SC Senate.
Passing this bill brings South Carolina closer to joining the 31 other states in allowing responsible alcohol delivery by third-party platforms like DoorDash, and we applaud House lawmakers for taking this crucial step. Safe, responsible alcohol delivery will expand opportunities for thousands of Dashers and small businesses in the state, while bringing modern convenience and choice to South Carolinians. We look forward to continuing to work with lawmakers on this bill and urge the Senate to join their colleagues in unlocking this opportunity to benefit communities across South Carolina.
WCIV reported alcohol retailers have said they are supportive of the bill, but are worried about liability issues.
Those in support of the measure say they have safeguards in place for the deliveries, including requiring an ID scan from a third-party vendor before any orders can be completed.
The bill is heading to the SC Senate for debate.

It’s a big weekend for U.S. Senator Cory Booker as he eyes a potential bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
He’s in South Carolina, headling the state party’s annual dinner on Friday night, along with his colleague from Georgia, Rev. Raphael Warnock.
Today, Booker will attend Rep. Jim Clyburn’s annual Fish Fry, one of the biggest Democratic events in the state.
The weekend also brings Booker together with Christale Spain, the state political director of Booker’s 2020 presidential campaign and, since last year, the South Carolina Democratic State Chair. Five years ago, Booker and Kamala Harris competed to bring Spain onto their respective campaign teams.
Booker has made multiple trips to South Carolina over the last four years.
With Booker on the South Carolina trip is Mo Butler, his top New Jersey political advisor.

(AP) — A legislator in South Carolina has had his law license suspended after a former client accused him of forging his signature to reach a settlement in a lawsuit without his permission.
Democratic Rep. Marvin Pendarvis cannot practice law until the state Supreme Court lifts the suspension, justices said Friday in a written order.
The order didn’t detail why the Office of Disciplinary Counsel recommended the suspension. Pendarvis has not responded publicly to the lawsuit against him by former client Adrian Lewis. A call to his law office number went unanswered Friday.
Lewis has hired a different lawyer who held a news conference detailing the malpractice allegations against Pendarvis after filing a lawsuit last month.
Lewis sued the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office over his arrest in 2021. Pendarvis told him his case was worth up to $325,000 but then settled it for $10,000 without Lewis knowing, the new lawyer said.
According to the lawsuit, Pendarvis ignored Lewis’ questions for weeks. Then once Lewis learned of the settlement, Pendarvis offered him $75,000 cash out of his trust fund for clients when Lewis threatened to sue.
Pendarvis then sent Lewis several text messages asking him not to sue.
“Let’s handle this (expletive). No need to try and hurt me man. I can help you,” Pendarvis wrote Lewis in text messages filed with the lawsuit.
Pendarvis is running for a fifth term in the House from his North Charleston district. He has no competition either in June’s Democratic primary or the November general election.
Sports gaming fans and college football fans, in general, have waited *checks notes* quite literally over a decade for this moment to arrive. College Football is set to have a new video game back on the shelves in mid-July this Summer. Certain checkpoints along the way have served as reminders of how much closer we all are to the release date, and we reached another one on Friday morning as EA Sports released their official trailer for College Football 25.
Bring Glory Home.

The South Carolina Gamecocks were included in the trailer at the 1:20 mark, but I’ll let you watch that at your own discretion because, admittedly, it doesn’t paint the Garnet and Black in the greatest light. Game modes such as Dynasty and Road To Glory, which were fixtures in the game years ago, will return, along with some new additions like College Football Ultimate Team and Road To The College Football Playoff as well. The aforementioned information is from EA themselves, and you can find more information here.
