The bill H. 4658 proposes an amendment to Section 40-11-360 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing exemptions from the application of the chapter concerning the installation, repair, or maintenance of billboard structures. The amendment includes the phrase "of billboards, or billboard structures" to clarify that these activities are exempt from certain licensing requirements, while still stipulating that an electrical license is necessary for performing a final connection to a branch circuit conductor. Additionally, it specifies that the installation or modification of a branch circuit conductor is not included in the exemption for signs or billboards.

This legislative change aims to streamline the regulatory process for billboard-related work, ensuring that individuals and companies involved in the installation and maintenance of billboard structures can operate without unnecessary licensing burdens, while still maintaining safety standards for electrical connections. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
