South Carolina — Palmetto

The constitutional text, from its own loaded unit
"effective ninety calendar days after submission unless disapproved by concurrent resolution of the General Assembly, with the concurrence of three-fifths of the members of each House"
S.C. Const. art. V, § 4A — read the whole section on its page.
No sibling state on this platform works this way: the Supreme Court submits its rule changes to the General Assembly, and they take effect unless BOTH houses disapprove by three-fifths inside the window. Silence is enactment.
The worked example — the April 30, 2026 wave
Order 2026-04-30-01 amended SCRCP 5, 52, 53, 54, 59. "effective after the required 90-day General Assembly period elapsed without rejection" The proof rides the loaded rules themselves: Rule 54's own page: 'from 10 days to 20 days' + 'Last amended by Order dated April 30, 2026.'
