The bill H. 4930 proposes an amendment to Section 27, Article V of the South Carolina Constitution, which pertains to the Judicial Merit Selection Commission. The key change introduced by this bill is that all members of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission will be appointed by the Governor, as indicated by the new legal language. This amendment aims to streamline the process of selecting members for the commission, which is responsible for evaluating the qualifications and fitness of candidates for judicial positions in the state.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the General Assembly will continue to elect judges and justices from the nominees provided by the commission, ensuring that no individual can be elected to these judicial roles without first being deemed qualified by the commission. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in the next general election, allowing the electorate to decide whether to approve the change regarding the appointment of commission members by the Governor.
