The bill, H. 5501, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that seeks to formally reject the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution calls on the Supreme Court to reverse this decision and restore the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. It emphasizes the belief that marriage regulation should be returned to the states and the people, asserting that the Obergefell decision undermines the constitutional principles and the will of South Carolina voters, who previously defined marriage through a constitutional amendment.

The resolution articulates various arguments against the Obergefell decision, including claims that it misinterprets the Constitution and infringes upon states' rights. It also references the historical understanding of marriage and criticizes the involvement of justices who officiated same-sex weddings as a conflict of interest. Ultimately, the resolution aims to reaffirm South Carolina's stance on marriage and urges the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling, emphasizing the importance of legislative authority over judicial decisions in matters of marriage.
