(A126, R168, S696)

AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 48-39-150, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO LENGTH OF TIME PERMIT APPROVED BY SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL COUNCIL IS VALID, SO AS TO EXTEND THE TIME FROM THREE TO FIVE YEARS AND TO PROVIDE FOR EXTENSIONS AND FOR TOLLING DURING AN APPEAL.

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

Length of time permit valid; extensions; tolling

SECTION 1. Section 48-39-150(F) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(F) Work authorized by permits issued under this chapter must be completed within five years after the date of issuance. The time limit may be extended for good cause showing that due diligence toward completion of the work has been made as evidenced by significant work progress. An extension only may be granted if the permitted project meets the policies and regulations in force when the extension is requested or the permittee agrees to accept additional conditions which would bring the project into compliance. The time periods required by this subsection must be tolled during the pendency of an administrative or a judicial appeal of the permit issuance."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Approved the 14th day of June, 1993.
