The bill H. 3760 is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that sets a specific date and time for the election of several judicial successors. The resolution stipulates that the General Assembly will convene in a joint assembly on February 5, 2025, at noon to elect successors for various judges across the Court of Appeals, Circuit Courts, and Family Courts, as well as the Administrative Law Court. Notably, the resolution outlines the terms of the offices that will be filled, including unexpired terms and new terms that will commence upon the retirement or appointment of current judges.
Additionally, the resolution establishes that all nominations for these judicial positions must be made by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission, and it specifies that no further nominating or seconding speeches may be made by members of the General Assembly on behalf of any candidate. This procedural framework aims to streamline the election process for the judicial vacancies that will arise due to retirements and appointments.
