The bill H. 4730 seeks to amend Section 40-11-360 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically regarding exemptions from contractor licensure for the installation, repair, or maintenance of signs and billboards. The amendment explicitly includes "billboard structures" in the list of activities that are exempt from requiring a contractor's license. However, it stipulates that an electrical license is necessary for performing a final connection to a branch circuit conductor, and clarifies that the installation or modification of a branch circuit conductor is not part of the exempt activities.

This legislative change aims to streamline the regulatory framework for billboard contractors by clearly defining the scope of work that does not require licensure, while still ensuring that safety standards are maintained through the requirement of an electrical license for specific electrical work. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
