The bill H. 4050 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by introducing definitions and references related to "concurrency programs" in zoning ordinances and regulations. Specifically, it amends Section 6-29-720 to include "concurrency programs," which condition the approval of land development activities on the adequacy of public facilities and services. This section outlines the requirements for these programs, including ensuring that public facilities are adequate to support development and allowing local authorities to require contributions from developers to offset impacts on facilities and services.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 6-29-1130 to allow for the inclusion of adopted concurrency programs in the regulations governing land development. This ensures that local planning commissions can recommend regulations that promote harmonious development while considering the adequacy of public services. The bill emphasizes the importance of safety and welfare in land development, stating that no development plan will be approved unless it can be safely used for building purposes. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
