The bill, H. 4556, is a resolution introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives to formally censure Representative John R. McCravy III for making antisemitic, racist, and sexist statements that violate Rule 3.6 of the House's Rules regarding decorum. The resolution asserts that McCravy's conduct constitutes personal attacks on fellow members, which is prohibited, and it emphasizes that such behavior is unbecoming of a member of the House, bringing dishonor to himself and the state.
The resolution cites Section 12, Article III of the South Carolina Constitution, which grants each house the authority to punish its members for disorderly behavior. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to hold McCravy accountable for his actions and reinforce the importance of maintaining decorum within the legislative body.
