The "South Carolina Resource Independence and Resilience Act" aims to enhance the state's self-sufficiency by establishing the State Resource Commission (SRC) within the Office of the Governor. The SRC is tasked with achieving and maintaining a minimum of 25% in-state production of essential resources, including agricultural products, energy, and water infrastructure, by 2036. The act sets intermediate benchmarks of 15% by 2031 and outlines the commission's responsibilities, which include coordinating statewide initiatives, developing an implementation plan, and maintaining a public dashboard to track progress.

To support these goals, the SRC will recommend a package of incentives to promote local production, particularly in rural and economically distressed communities. This includes tax credits, grants, and low-interest loans for businesses involved in food and energy production. The SRC is also required to submit annual reports to the General Assembly detailing progress, challenges, and recommendations for policy modifications. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
