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 revise the council's mission to enhance the military presence in South Carolina, improve the quality of life for military personnel and their families, and coordinate efforts among military communities. Additionally, it mandates that the council meets at least once each calendar year and increases its membership to include more representatives from various military communities and sectors.

Key changes include the expansion of the council's membership, which will now consist of various officials, including the South Carolina Adjutant General, secretaries from relevant departments, and mayors from military communities, as well as at-large members appointed by the Governor. The bill also establishes an executive committee within the council to advise the Governor and the General Assembly on military matters and coordinate annual meetings with military commanders and legislative members. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
