The bill H. 3237 proposes the creation of the "Weapons Detectors in Schools Study Committee" in South Carolina. This committee is tasked with evaluating the public interest in requiring the installation and use of weapons detectors, such as metal detectors, in public schools. The study will consider various factors, including the costs and benefits of such installations, potential funding sources, and the feasibility of implementation in each school.

The committee will consist of three members from the Senate and three from the House of Representatives, along with one member with a law enforcement background, all appointed by relevant committee chairpersons. The most senior members from each legislative body will serve as co-chairs. The committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly within ninety days of the resolution's approval, after which it will be dissolved. The resolution will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
