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 bill stipulates that a county or municipality can only exercise the powers outlined in this chapter with the approval of all property owners within the proposed district, as further detailed in Section 6-35-118. The new language emphasizes the need for intergovernmental cooperation while maintaining the requirement for property owner approval. The act will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
