The bill H. 4525, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, seeks to rescind the adoption of a previous resolution, H. 4498, which was passed on May 6, 2025. H. 4498 aimed to declare energy burden a crisis in South Carolina and designated September 24, 2025, as "South Carolina Energy Justice Day." The resolution highlights the need for immediate attention to energy affordability challenges faced by residents in the state.
By adopting H. 4525, the House of Representatives effectively nullifies the earlier resolution, thereby removing the recognition of energy burden as a crisis and the associated observance of Energy Justice Day. This action reflects a shift in legislative priorities or perspectives regarding energy issues in South Carolina.
