The bill H. 4136 proposes the creation of a study committee tasked with examining and reviewing all reports and studies related to the regulation, inspection, maintenance, and improvement of public and private dams conducted since 2015. The committee will assess the current classification system of dams and explore the potential need for a permanent infrastructure bank to support these efforts, including considerations for adequate funding.

The committee will consist of various members, including the Chairpersons of relevant legislative committees, a director from the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, two civil engineers appointed by the Governor, and two private dam owners also appointed by the Governor. While serving on the committee, members will not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for travel expenses. The committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by January 1, 2026, after which it will be dissolved. The resolution will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
