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, which previously did not include this position. This change aims to enhance the representation and involvement of the Attorney General in prosecutorial coordination matters. Additionally, the bill amends the section regarding witnesses at executions to include the Attorney General or their designee among those permitted to be present during such events.

Furthermore, the bill makes several technical changes to the existing language in both sections. In Section 1-7-920, the numbering of the members is adjusted to reflect the inclusion of the Attorney General, while in Section 24-3-550, the list of individuals allowed to witness executions is updated to incorporate the Attorney General. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, thereby streamlining the legal framework surrounding these two important areas of law in South Carolina.
