The bill, S. 314, is a Senate resolution that recognizes the significant contributions of South Carolina's electric cooperatives to the state's success and designates February 13, 2025, as Electric Co-Op Day at the State House. The resolution highlights the cooperatives' critical role in restoring power following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in the fall of 2024, during which 425,000 members lost electricity. It acknowledges the efforts of approximately 3,500 line workers and other employees who worked diligently to restore power within fourteen days, emphasizing the importance of reliable electricity for the health, welfare, and economic development of rural communities in South Carolina.

On Electric Co-Op Day, trustees, CEOs, and employees from the state's electric cooperatives will visit the Capital City to express their gratitude to the General Assembly for their support and to host a legislative luncheon. The resolution serves to formally recognize and appreciate the electric cooperatives' essential role in the state's infrastructure and economy, and it concludes with a directive to present a copy of the resolution to the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina.
