The bill H. 4735 proposes the establishment of the "Truancy Root Cause Intervention Study Committee" in South Carolina, aimed at reviewing and recommending modifications to current truancy intervention programs. The committee will focus on identifying and assessing home environmental factors and other conditions that contribute to individual instances of truancy. It will evaluate existing truancy procedures, consider best practices from other states, and identify gaps in current laws or policies. The committee is tasked with developing recommendations for statutory, regulatory, or programmatic changes to enhance the effectiveness of truancy interventions.

The committee will consist of members from both the Senate and House of Representatives, along with representatives from the State Superintendent of Education, the Department of Social Services, the Children's Law Center, and two public members appointed by the Governor. The committee is required to submit a written report with legislative recommendations to the General Assembly by July 1, 2027, after which it will be dissolved. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
