The bill, H. 4402, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that seeks to suspend certain provisions of the South Carolina Code regarding elections. Specifically, it suspends the prohibition in Section 58-3-20(C) that prevents the General Assembly from holding elections until a final court determination is made regarding the review of congressional districts for the years 2025 and 2026. This allows the General Assembly to proceed with elections during this period without waiting for the court's decision.

Additionally, the bill suspends Section 2-20-15 of the South Carolina Code, which typically governs the election process for members of the Public Service Commission. This suspension applies specifically to elections conducted by the General Assembly for the years 2025 and 2026, thereby enabling these elections to occur without the usual restrictions. The resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
