Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Portions of the Great Pee Dee River designated a scenic river

SECTION 2. The first paragraph of Section 49-29-100 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 181 of 1993, is further amended to read:
"After ratification by the General Assembly of the designation of a river or river segment as a scenic river under the State Scenic Rivers Program, the State, through the Budget and Control Board, and with the consent of the legislative delegation for the county in which the land is located, may purchase with donated or appropriated funds, exchange lands for, or otherwise accept donations of certain lands adjacent to the eligible river or section of a river either in fee simple or perpetual easement from an owner. Unless unusual circumstances warrant, purchases of land adjacent to scenic and recreational rivers may not be less than one hundred feet in width from the ordinary high-water mark or mean high-water line of the river in normal conditions. Purchases of land for natural rivers may not be less than three hundred feet in width from the ordinary high-water mark or mean high-water line of the river."
