The bill H. 3727 proposes the adoption of Revised Volume 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which includes Titles 21-24, as the sole general permanent statutory law of the state effective January 1, 2025. This action is in accordance with Section 2-13-90 of the South Carolina Code, which allows the Legislative Council and the Code Commissioner to oversee the preparation and publication of revised volumes of the Code. The revised volume is intended to replace the original Volume 9, which also contained Titles 21-24.
The bill outlines that the revised volume must be submitted to the General Assembly for consideration, and upon approval by the Governor, the act will take effect. This legislative update aims to ensure that the statutory law remains current and accurately reflects the legal framework of South Carolina.
