The proposed bill, H. 3054, seeks to amend Section 9, Article III of the South Carolina Constitution to allow the General Assembly to conduct its annual sessions using remote and virtual technology under specific circumstances. These circumstances include situations where war, social unrest, contagious diseases, epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters, or acts of God make it unsafe for members to meet in person at the State Capitol. The decision to utilize remote technology would be made by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Additionally, the bill outlines that if such conditions arise, the General Assembly may still convene and conduct its business without being physically present at the seat of government. The amendment will be presented to voters in the next general election, allowing them to decide whether to approve the changes to the Constitution regarding the meeting protocols of the General Assembly.
