The bill H. 3324 proposes the establishment of an African American Confederate Veterans Monument in South Carolina, specifically on the grounds of the State House. It introduces a new section, 10-1-220, which mandates the creation of this monument and outlines that its design and location will be determined by a newly formed commission. The commission is tasked with incorporating the names of Charles Dougherty Hayne and all African American Confederate veterans into the monument and is required to report the proposed design and location to the State House Committee by July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill adds section 10-1-230, which establishes the African American Confederate Veterans Monument Commission, detailing its composition, powers, and duties. The commission will consist of eleven members, including representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, and will have the authority to raise private funds for the monument. The commission is set to be dissolved on January 1, 2029, unless the monument is dedicated before that date. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
