Summary of Bill S 1155 (Session 2025-2026, South Carolina)

Title

Dylan Carter — Senate Resolution expressing sorrow and sympathy upon the passing of Dylan Carter.

Purpose and Intent

  • To publicly express profound sorrow in the South Carolina Senate over the death of Dylan Carter and to extend the deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
  • Serves as a formal, ceremonial tribute rather than legislation that alters law or public policy.

Key Provisions

  • Adoption of a Senate Resolution commemorating Dylan Carter’s life, acknowledging his:
    • Local roots in St. George, SC (born Sept. 13, 2002).
    • Education and early achievements (Dorchester Academy, 2020 honor graduate; involved in football, golf, and choir; notable school leadership roles).
    • Professional and entrepreneurial activities (real estate agent with Carolina Properties; co-owner of Sunny Days Campground with Logan Lowder).
    • Musical talent and public performance history (contestant on Season 24 of The Voice; performed “I Look to You” at his mother’s funeral).
    • Civic engagement (co-founder of The Local Voice singing competition benefiting breast cancer funds in the Santee community).
    • Religious affiliation and community involvement (member of St. George United Methodist Church; participation in community events and Living Word Ministries productions).
  • Recognition of his personal qualities (kindness, warmth, joy) and the impact of his life on family, friends, and the broader community.
  • Formal resolution language expressing sorrow and extending sympathy to Dylan Carter’s family and friends.
  • Distribution of a copy of the resolution to the Carter family.

Affected Parties

  • Dylan Carter’s immediate family and friends.
  • The broader South Carolina community, particularly those connected to his hometown of St. George and the Santee community through The Local Voice and other charitable activities.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced and adopted on April 29, 2026.
  • Co-sponsors: Russell Ott and Tom Fernandez.
  • This is a ceremonial Senate resolution, not a law or rulemaking measure; it does not create mandates, funding, or regulatory changes.

Additional Context

  • The resolution functions as a formal expression of sympathy from the South Carolina Senate, typical for notable local figures or constituents who have passed away.
  • It serves to acknowledge Dylan Carter’s life achievements and contributions to his community and to preserve his memory in state records.
