State Expenditure
This bill codifies current procedures for the issuance of general permits available for tideland critical areas of the coastal zone. DHEC currently has in place an application process for the general permit, including a fee structure and an appeals process. Therefore, this bill will have no expenditure impact on the general fund, federal funds, or other funds.
