COLUMBIA, S.C. - Governor Henry McMaster has issued Executive Order 2026-09 to reconvene the General Assembly for an extra legislative session to take up the General Appropriations Act, continue consideration of South Carolina's congressional districts, and address other matters of public importance beginning Friday, May 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
The governor's Executive Order will remain in effect unless and until modified, amended, or rescinded by a subsequent Order.
