The bill H. 4551 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that allows for the consideration of legislation related to parental rights after May 8, 2025, during the 2025 legislative session. This resolution expands the scope of matters that can be addressed by the General Assembly prior to sine die adjournment, which includes not only the introduction and consideration of parental rights legislation but also the processes of concurrence, nonconcurrence, and the appointment of conferees.
Additionally, the resolution specifies that the General Assembly may engage in the receipt, consideration, and disposition of conference and free conference reports, as well as any vetoes that may arise. This inclusion aims to ensure that parental rights issues are prioritized and addressed before the conclusion of the legislative session.
