The bill H. 4296 aims to amend various sections of the South Carolina Code of Laws related to military forces and their operations within the state. Key amendments include the removal of a reference to the United States Army in Section 25-1-90, the elimination of certain age requirements for appointments in the South Carolina National Guard in Section 25-1-510, and the removal of references to federal property in Section 25-1-1330. Additionally, the bill proposes to repeal multiple sections that pertain to various administrative and operational aspects of the military forces, including rules and regulations, officer selection boards, and requirements for sharing appropriations.

Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of individuals eligible for certain benefits and protections under workers' compensation laws, specifically including other persons called into active military service by the Governor in Sections 42-7-40 and 42-7-65. It also allows the Adjutant General more flexibility in managing workers' compensation premiums for military members during specific service periods. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
