The proposed joint resolution 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 in 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 seat of government. 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 amendment clarifies that if it is deemed unsafe to meet in person, the General Assembly may convene remotely, ensuring legislative continuity during emergencies. The resolution also stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to voters in the next general election, allowing the public to decide whether to adopt this change to the Constitution.
