The bill H. 3080 seeks to amend Section 63-3-830 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the responsibilities of a guardian ad litem in private actions before the family court. The proposed amendment mandates that a guardian ad litem must provide copies of all written communications with any therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, or other professionals involved in the case to both parties' attorneys. If a party is not represented by an attorney, the guardian ad litem is required to provide this information directly to the parties themselves.
This change aims to enhance transparency and ensure that all parties have access to relevant information that may impact the case. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
