The bill H. 4246 seeks to amend Section 6-35-30 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the authority of residential improvement districts. The amendment allows government entities to create districts that may encompass geographic areas within the jurisdiction of another government entity, provided that there is consent from the governing body of that other entity, expressed through a resolution. This change aims to enhance collaboration between different governmental bodies in managing and improving residential areas.

The current law requires that a county or municipality can only exercise powers related to residential improvement districts with the approval of all property owners within the proposed district. The proposed amendment modifies this requirement by allowing the creation of districts that cross jurisdictional lines, thereby expanding the potential for cooperative development and improvement efforts among various government entities. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
