The bill H. 4550 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that allows for the consideration of bills related to closed partisan primaries 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 these bills but also the processes of concurrence, nonconcurrence, and the appointment of conferees. Additionally, it covers the receipt, consideration, and disposition of conference and free conference reports, as well as any applicable vetoes.
The resolution emphasizes that the inclusion of bills concerning closed partisan primaries is a significant addition to the legislative agenda, allowing for a focused discussion on this topic within the remaining time of the session. This move reflects the General Assembly's intent to address electoral processes and party dynamics in South Carolina, ensuring that these matters are given due consideration before the session concludes.
