The bill H. 3852 proposes amendments to the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically targeting the membership of the Commission on Prosecution Coordination and the list of witnesses allowed at executions. It adds the Attorney General, or their designee, to the Commission's membership, ensuring their involvement in the coordination of prosecution efforts. Additionally, the bill makes a technical change to the existing membership structure.

Furthermore, the bill amends the provisions regarding witnesses at executions by including the Attorney General or their designee among those permitted to be present. This change expands the list of individuals who can witness executions, which already includes family representatives of the victim, legal representatives, and media personnel. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
