TO EXTEND UNTIL MAY 31, 2007, THE TIME IN WHICH THE EMINENT DOMAIN STUDY COMMITTEE, ESTABLISHED TO FORMULATE RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE CONDEMNATION AUTHORITY OF ALL ENTITIES THAT POSSESS THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL POLICY ON THE VALUE AND OWNERSHIP OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND THE NEED FOR REVISION OF CURRENT SLUM CLEARANCE AND REDEVELOPMENT USES OF EMINENT DOMAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA, HAS TO PRESENT ITS REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, AND THE GOVERNOR.

Whereas, the Eminent Domain Study Committee requires additional time in order to complete its report. Now, therefore,

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

SECTION    1.    That the time in which the Eminent Domain Study Committee shall submit its report to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and the Governor be extended from April 17, 2007, to May 31, 2007, at which time the committee then shall be dissolved.
