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 delete the Comptroller General from Section 7, Article VI, and abolish the office sixty days after ratification, allowing the General Assembly to define the duties and responsibilities previously held by this position. Additionally, the resolution proposes to amend Section 12, Article IV, to exclude the Comptroller General from the group of officers who can declare the Governor unable to perform his duties. Furthermore, it amends Section 13, Article X, to assign the responsibility of levying an ad valorem tax for unpaid general obligation debt to the Governor instead of the Comptroller General.

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 clear 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 Comptroller General's role and redistributing certain responsibilities to the Governor and the General Assembly.
