TO AMEND SECTION 2-1-180, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADJOURNMENT, SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR AN EXTENSION OF SINE DIE ADJOURNMENT TO CONSIDER REAPPORTIONMENT.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 2-1-180 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 2-1-180. (A) The regular annual session of the General Assembly shall adjourn sine die each year not later than 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June.
(B) In the year when the United States Bureau of the Census releases population data under Public Law No. 94-171 and in consecutive years following the release of that information when the respective houses of the General Assembly must consider statewide legislation pertaining to reapportionment of the South Carolina Senate, the South Carolina House of Representatives, or the congressional districts of the United States House of Representatives for South Carolina, the date of sine die adjournment is extended to a date on which both houses of the General Assembly agree to adjourn by concurrent resolution. During the time between 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June and the extended sine die adjournment date, as set forth in this subsection, no legislation or other business may be considered except for matters concerning reapportionment and any matters approved for consideration by a concurrent resolution adopted by two-thirds vote of those present and voting in both houses.
(C) In any year that the House of Representatives fails to give third reading to the annual General Appropriation Bill general appropriations bill by March thirty-first, the date of sine die adjournment is extended by one statewide day for each statewide day after March thirty-first that the House of Representatives fails to give the bill third reading.
(D) The session may also may be extended by concurrent resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. During the time between 5:00 p.m. on the first Thursday in June and the extended sine die adjournment date, as set forth herein in this subsection, no legislation or other business may be considered except the General Appropriation Bill general appropriations bill and any matters approved for consideration by a concurrent resolution adopted by two-thirds vote in both houses."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
