A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 27-40-710, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO EVICTION PROCEDURES, SO AS TO CHANGE THE TERM "EVICTION NOTICE" TO "WRIT OF EVICTION OR EJECTMENT" AND TO REPEAL SECTION 27-40-735, A DUPLICATIVE PROVISION RELATING TO PROPERTY OF EVICTED TENANTS.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

"(D) Personal property belonging to a tenant removed from a premises as a result of an eviction proceeding under this chapter which is placed on a public street or highway may be removed by the appropriate municipal or county officials after a period of forty-eight hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and may also be removed by these officials in the normal course of debris or trash collection before or after a period of forty-eight hours. The notice writ of eviction or ejectment must clearly inform the tenant of the provisions of this section. The municipality or county and the appropriate officials or employees thereof have no liability in regard to the tenant if he is not informed in the notice writ of eviction or ejectment of the provisions of this section."

SECTION 2. Section 27-40-735 of the 1976 Code is repealed.

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
