Whereas, the members of the General Assembly find it is important to support and endorse the standards of the traditional family unit; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina should promote the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this State; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly find that the traditional family unit offers the best structure for future generations and the best support for older generations and should be the basis for all public policy affecting families and family life in this State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize the traditional family unit as the cornerstone for family life in South Carolina and shall rely upon all existing state laws to protect the traditional family unit in shaping public policy in the State.
