The bill, S. 1061, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina Senate to approve regulations proposed by the State Commission on Higher Education concerning the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program, designated as Regulation Document Number 5405. The resolution confirms that the regulations, which include revisions to Chapter 62, specifically R.62-300 through 62-375, are approved as submitted to the General Assembly in accordance with Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

The proposed revisions aim to clarify the policies and procedures for administering the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship and Enhancement Program. Notably, the amendments update the regulation to reflect changes in the ACT test, making the Science subject test optional for calculating the Composite score. Additionally, the revisions include updates to definitions and minor language changes to ensure consistency throughout the regulation. The joint resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
