The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the South Carolina Constitution by removing the Comptroller General from the list of constitutional officers. Specifically, it aims to amend Section 7 of Article VI to abolish the office of the Comptroller General sixty days after ratification and to allow the General Assembly to define the duties and responsibilities that were previously held by this office. Additionally, the resolution proposes to amend Section 12 of Article IV to exclude the Comptroller General from the group of officers who can declare the Governor unable to perform their duties. Furthermore, it amends Section 13 of Article X to assign the responsibility of levying an ad valorem tax for unpaid general obligation debt from the Comptroller General to the Governor.

The resolution will be presented to voters in the next general election, where they will decide whether to approve the amendments. The ballot will include a question regarding the proposed changes, allowing voters to express their support or opposition. If passed, these amendments would significantly alter the structure of state governance by eliminating the elected position of the Comptroller General and redistributing certain responsibilities to the Governor and the General Assembly.
