The bill, S. 237, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that sets a date for the election of several judicial successors. It specifies 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, Family Courts, and the Administrative Law Court. Notably, the resolution outlines the terms of the judges whose positions are to be filled, including the unexpired terms that successors will serve, with expiration dates ranging from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2031.

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 restricts further nominating or seconding speeches by members of the General Assembly on behalf of any candidate, in accordance with Section 2-19-90. This structured approach aims to ensure a smooth and orderly election process for the judicial vacancies.
