Bill > H4658

This bill amends Section 40-11-360 of the South Carolina Code of Laws to clarify regulations surrounding billboard structures and electrical work. Specifically, the bill exempts the installation, repair, and maintenance of signs, billboards, and billboard structures from certain licensing requirements, with an important caveat that an electrical license is still required for making the final electrical connection to a branch circuit conductor. The bill also specifies that the installation or modification of a branch circuit conductor is not considered part of the billboard installation or maintenance process. This legislative change appears designed to provide clarity and potentially reduce regulatory barriers for billboard-related work while maintaining essential electrical safety standards. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, which means it could become law as soon as the governor signs it.
