The bill H. 3101 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 63-3-880, which establishes that guardians ad litem involved in private custody or visitation actions before the family court are subject to investigation by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. This provision allows the Office to receive and investigate allegations of ethical misconduct and violations of statutory duties committed by these guardians.

The bill seeks to enhance accountability and oversight of guardians ad litem, ensuring that they adhere to ethical standards and fulfill their statutory responsibilities in family court proceedings. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
