Bill > S0534

This concurrent resolution addresses the potential removal of South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis from office using a constitutional provision that allows for removal by a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers. Specifically, the resolution invokes Article XV, Section 3 of the South Carolina Constitution, which permits the Governor to remove an executive or judicial officer for "willful neglect of duty" or other reasonable cause that does not rise to the level of impeachable offenses. In this case, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly have determined, through a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives, that Curtis Loftis has committed willful neglect of his duties as State Treasurer. The resolution serves as an official finding and recommendation for potential removal, which would ultimately be executed by the Governor if the two-thirds threshold is met in both legislative chambers.
