The bill, S. 883, is a concurrent resolution that outlines the procedures for the South Carolina General Assembly's adjournment and recess during the 2026 session. It specifies that when the General Assembly adjourns on May 14, 2026, by 5:00 p.m., each house will enter a recess, subject to the call of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This recess allows for the consideration of specific matters, including the general appropriations bill, gubernatorial vetoes, and resolutions related to sine die adjournment, among others.

Additionally, the resolution establishes that unless the session is adjourned earlier, the General Assembly will stand adjourned sine die no later than November 8, 2026. The bill emphasizes the need for a two-thirds vote to recede for more than thirty consecutive days and binds the General Assembly to the terms outlined in the resolution. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House are also granted the authority to set times for ratifying acts and conducting elections for offices filled by the General Assembly prior to the sine die adjournment.
