A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 48-39-120 OF THE 1976 CODE, RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BEACH EROSION CONTROL POLICY, TO DEFINE "FULL AND COMPLETE ACCESS".

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

SECTION    1.    Section 48-39-120 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding an appropriately numbered subsection to read:

"( )    For purposes of this section, 'full and complete access' means where public walk-ways or access points to the beach and lateral access to the dry sand beach are open and readily apparent, and reasonable provisions are made for transportation facilities, such as automobile parking, boat landings, and bicycle racks, which are available on a year-round basis, and access to the area is sought by members of the general public with reasonable frequency, and any fee charged for access is nominal.

The entire ocean shoreline of a municipality shall be considered as providing full and complete access if full and complete access is provided on more than one-half of the municipality's shoreline and the municipality's shoreline offers twice as much beach access as is required by the South Carolina Beachfront Management Plan."

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