The bill H. 3403 seeks to amend Section 6-29-720 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing the regulation of political signs by local governing bodies. The proposed amendment stipulates that municipalities and counties are prohibited from enacting ordinances that regulate the placement of political signs on private property. This change aims to protect the rights of individuals to display political signage without interference from local regulations.

If enacted, this bill would ensure that political signs are not subject to local zoning ordinances, thereby reinforcing the freedom of expression in the political arena. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor, emphasizing the urgency of the matter in the context of upcoming elections and political activities.
