Committee carries over S116 after staff finds drafting error

South Carolina Senate Judiciary Subcommittee · April 14, 2026

Summary

S116, a bill to set licensing and regulations for inspectors of multifamily dwelling balconies, was carried over after staff discovered it was drafted to the wrong code title (Title 20 instead of Title 40); a 'Strike All' amendment was prepared to place it in the correct code section and the committee agreed to revisit the bill in the appropriate committee.

Ms. Benson told the subcommittee that S116 would establish licensing and regulation for inspectors and special inspectors for multifamily dwelling balconies and direct the Department of Labor to promulgate rules within six months of passage. Staff noted the bill had been drafted to Title 20 (domestic relations) in error; the companion House bill and intended code references point to Title 40 (Labor, Licensing and Regulation).

Committee staff recommended a 'Strike All' amendment to correct code placement. Chair and members agreed to carry S116 over so it can be considered by the Labor, Licensing and Regulation committee after technical correction. The subcommittee voted by voice to carry the bill over; the session adjourned.
