TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR SHELLY KELLY, GENERAL COUNSEL

THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AFTER THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO 
THE STATE, AND TO WISH HER CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE 
ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that Shelly Kelly will 
begin a well-deserved retirement after thirty-four years in state government, 
the last of which have been as the distinguished and highly regarded general 
counsel and deputy treasurer in the South Carolina Office of the State 
Treasurer; and

Whereas, Ms. Kelly 
earned a bachelor's degree from North Carolina State University and a juris 
doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in order to 
prepare for a stellar career in state government; and

Whereas, she began her legal 
career as a staff attorney for the South Carolina Court of Appeals. Ms. Kelly 
then served as general counsel for the South Carolina Department of Education, 
where she successfully litigated high-profile cases, managed civil rights 
enforcement, and restructured legal operations; and

Whereas, after her 
service in the Department of Education, Ms. Kelly served as deputy director for 
the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, leading 
regulatory oversight for healthcare facilities, EMS services, and controlled-substance 
enforcement; and

Whereas, since 2019, 
Ms. Kelly has served as general counsel and deputy treasurer for the South 
Carolina Office of the State Treasurer, providing legal oversight, managing 
state debt issuance, and overseeing internal audits; and

Whereas, a seasoned 
legal professional with over three decades of experience in governmental law, 
finance, health regulation, and education policy, Ms. Kelly is retiring after thirty-four 
years of faithful service to the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, grateful for 
her many years of distinguished service to the State of South Carolina, the 
South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best 
wishes to Shelly Kelly as she transitions to a richly deserved retirement and 
the unhurried pace of the days ahead, and the members wish her many years of 
enjoyment in her well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor Shelly Kelly, general counsel and deputy treasurer for the South 
Carolina Office of the State Treasurer, upon the occasion of her retirement 
after thirty-four years of exemplary service, and wish her continued success 
and happiness in all her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Shelly Kelly.
