The bill, S. 271, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina Senate that seeks to suspend a specific provision in Section 58-3-20(C) of the South Carolina Code. This provision currently prohibits the General Assembly from holding elections until the courts have made a final determination regarding the review of congressional districts. The resolution aims to allow the General Assembly to proceed with elections despite the ongoing court review of these districts.

If enacted, the suspension will apply specifically to the 126th South Carolina General Assembly, enabling them to hold elections without waiting for the court's final decision on the congressional district compliance. The resolution will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor.
