Bill Summary
A joint Resolution TO PROVIDE THAT A STATEWIDE ADVISORY REFERENDUM MUST BE CONDUCTED BY THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION AT THE SAME TIME AS THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTION ON THE QUESTION OF WHETHER SOUTH CAROLINA SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAID EXPANSION.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution mandates that a statewide advisory referendum be held by the State Election Commission during the 2024 General Election to gauge public opinion on whether South Carolina should implement Medicaid expansion. Medicaid expansion, as outlined in the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (often referred to as Obamacare), would make adults aged 65 and younger with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level (plus a small disregard) eligible for Medicaid coverage starting January 1, 2026. The referendum's results are advisory, meaning they will not be legally binding but will be published and certified to state officials, and its costs will be covered by the State Election Commission's budget.
