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 closed partisan primaries is a significant addition to the legislative agenda, allowing for a more comprehensive discussion and potential action on this topic before the session concludes. This move reflects the General Assembly's intent to address important electoral matters within the specified timeframe.
