The bill S. 214 proposes an amendment to Section 1-31-10 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the creation and composition of the State Commission for Minority Affairs. The key change in this bill is the removal of the requirement that a majority of the commission members must be African American. This amendment aims to alter the demographic composition criteria for the commission, which currently mandates that more than half of its members belong to the African American community.

If enacted, this bill would allow for a more diverse representation on the commission, as it would no longer be bound by the stipulation of a majority being African American. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, indicating a potential shift in the approach to minority representation within the commission.
