The bill S. 89 proposes to amend Section 25-11-100 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, renaming the South Carolina Military Base Task Force to the South Carolina Military Affairs Advisory Council. The bill aims to enhance the council's mission to sustain and expand the military presence in South Carolina, improve the quality of life for military personnel and their families, and coordinate efforts among military communities. Additionally, the bill increases the council's membership and mandates that it meets at least once each calendar year.

Key changes include the expansion of the council's membership to include more representatives from various chambers of commerce and county councils, as well as an increase in at-large members appointed by the Governor. The council will now consist of six at-large members instead of five, with specific representation from military communities in Aiken, Beaufort, Charleston, Columbia, Richland, and Sumter. The bill also outlines the structure of the council's executive committee and its advisory role to the Governor and General Assembly on military matters. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
