The bill, S. 1049, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina Senate that directs the South Carolina State House Committee to modify the existing Armed Forces Monument on the State House grounds. The proposed modification aims to honor the United States Space Force by adding a flag and engraved seal to the monument, which currently represents the five branches of the armed forces and the POW-MIA organization. The resolution highlights that the Space Force was established on December 20, 2019, and was not included in the original monument, which was completed in 2005.

The resolution mandates that the State House Committee, responsible for overseeing alterations to the State House and its grounds, implement this addition to ensure that all branches of the United States Armed Forces are represented. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
