The bill S. 308 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 for the term they are elected. Additionally, the bill makes a technical change to the existing language regarding the Commission's composition.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 24-3-550 to include the Attorney General or their designee among the individuals permitted to witness executions. This change expands the list of authorized witnesses, which already includes family representatives of the victim, legal counsel for the inmate, and media representatives, among others. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
