It was a little unclear when this vote will be taken, but Haley did say that she will call a special session of the legislature later this summer if needed.
On a related note, President Obama and Vice President Biden will both travel to Charleston to attend the funeral of the SC senate member who was killed last Wednesday at Mother Emmanuel church. Obama will deliver his eulogy.

I have to say I'm not quite as impressed as you are the Governor of SC. Although the Confederate flag is understandly an emotional issue it doesn't even make it to the top 20 issues facing this country. There was talk this morning about her being a good VP pick. We love symbolism over substance. Imagine if she had taken on the NRA and insisted on tightening the ease in which anyone can obtain a handgun. That would be like bringing a skunk to the garden party would it not? There would be no VP talk that is for sure.
