The bill H. 3527 proposes an amendment to Rule 4.6 of the Rules of the House of Representatives in South Carolina. The amendment introduces a new requirement that the Chairman of the Committee must schedule bills and resolutions that have thirty or more sponsors for consideration by the full committee or subcommittee within seven days of their referral to the committee. This aims to expedite the legislative process for measures that have significant support.
Additionally, the bill maintains the existing provision that allows a member to request consideration of a bill or resolution only once per legislative session. It also stipulates that public comment or input must be permitted at the subcommittee level when considering such measures. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the efficiency of the legislative process by ensuring timely consideration of widely supported legislation.
