The bill S. 228 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 authorized under 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 will replace the original Volume 9, which contained the same titles.

The bill outlines the process by which the revised volume is to be submitted to the General Assembly for consideration and ultimately adopted as part of the Code of Laws. It is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, ensuring that the updated legal framework is officially recognized and implemented in South Carolina law.
