What changed in the latest version
7 added · 14 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of Bill S 623 clarifies that Georgetown County is exempt from certain building requirements for properties located within a defined area prone to moderate wave action, as indicated on a recent flood insurance rate map. It also allows the county to enforce specific standards from its Flood Damage Prevention ordinance. This change is important because it gives local authorities more flexibility in managing building codes in flood-prone areas, which could help streamline construction processes and ensure better safety measures are adhered to in those regions.
