The bill S. 629 aims to amend Section 23-43-85 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the standards for the placement of modular homes. Specifically, it seeks to remove certain requirements related to the sale of display models. The proposed changes include the deletion of a requirement that the seller must provide written notice to the purchaser regarding the home’s compliance with current code requirements at the time of placement for residential use.

Under the amended section, a single-family modular home used as a display model can be placed for its first residential use in South Carolina if it meets specific criteria, including having a valid modular home label, adhering to wind and seismic requirements, remaining unaltered from its original design, and being manufactured within five years prior to placement. The bill is currently under consideration in the Senate Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry and will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
