Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Definition revised
SECTION 1. Section 31-15-10(1) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(1) 'Municipality' shall mean any city or town regardless of population;"
Collectibility of municipal lien
SECTION 2. Section 31-15-30(6) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(6) That the amount of the cost of such repairs, alterations or improvements, vacating and closing, or removal or demolition by the public officer shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred and shall be collectible in the same manner as municipal taxes."
Bidding of work
SECTION 3. Section 31-15-30 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding a new item (7) to read:
"(7) If a municipality in demolishing unfit dwellings as permitted by this article contracts with a third party not employed by the municipality to do the work, it must bid the work in conformity with the procurement code applicable to the municipality."
Collectibility of county lien
SECTION 4. Section 31-15-330(6) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(6) That the amount of the cost of such repairs, alterations or improvements, vacating and closing, or removal or demolition by the public officer shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred and shall be collectible in the same manner as county taxes."
Bidding of work
SECTION 5. Section 31-15-330 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding a new item (7) to read:
"(7) If a county in demolishing unfit dwellings as permitted by this article contracts with a third party not employed by the county to do the work, it must bid the work in conformity with the Procurement Code applicable to the county."

SECTION 7. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor; however, Section 6 remains in effect until the effective date of new industrial solid waste landfill regulations promulgated as required by Section 44-96-320.
