The bill H. 5325 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new Article 29 to Chapter 1, Title 1, which asserts that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the only true Creator God recognized by the state and its political subdivisions, including school districts. This recognition is grounded in the historical and foundational principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the South Carolina Constitution.
If enacted, this bill would formally establish a specific religious acknowledgment within state law, potentially influencing various aspects of governance and education. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Education and Public Works and would take effect upon the Governor's approval.
