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.

Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of individuals eligible for certain benefits and protections under the law, including those called into active military service by the Governor. It also modifies provisions regarding workers' compensation premiums for the Adjutant General's office and establishes guidelines for the payment of these premiums during specific circumstances.
