The bill, H. 4402, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that seeks to suspend certain legal provisions regarding elections for the years 2025 and 2026. Specifically, it aims to suspend the prohibition outlined in Section 58-3-20(C) that prevents the General Assembly from holding elections until the courts have made a final determination on the review of congressional districts. This suspension allows the General Assembly to proceed with elections despite any pending court decisions related to congressional district compliance.

Additionally, the bill proposes to suspend Section 2-20-15 of the South Carolina Code, which typically governs the election process for members of the Public Service Commission. By doing so, the General Assembly would be able to conduct these elections without adhering to the usual restrictions during the specified calendar years. The resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
