The bill H. 3999 proposes amendments to Sections 3 of Article VI and 1A of Article XVII of the South Carolina Constitution regarding dual office holding. The amendments aim to exempt any office holder or appointee whose position is wholly uncompensated, except for per diem and expense reimbursement as provided by law, from the dual office holding provisions. This change would allow individuals in such uncompensated positions to hold multiple offices simultaneously without violating the current restrictions.

To implement these amendments, the bill mandates that the proposed changes be presented to qualified electors during the next general election. Voters will be asked to approve or disapprove the amendments through a ballot that clearly states the proposed changes regarding dual office holding exemptions for uncompensated positions.
