A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 23-45-70, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR LICENSED FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER CONTRACTORS, SO AS TO DEFINE THE TERM "AUTHORIZED" AS IT RELATES TO THIS SECTION.

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

SECTION 1. Section 23-45-70 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 528 of 1990, is further amended to read:

"Section 23-45-70. The board may not issue a license unless the applicant provides proof that comprehensive liability insurance coverage has been obtained. The liability insurance policy must provide coverage in an amount not less than one hundred thousand dollars and cover any loss to property or personal injury caused by the fire protection sprinkler contractor. The policy must be purchased from an insurer authorized to do business in this State. `Authorized', for the purposes of this section, means a company duly licensed by the South Carolina Department of Insurance."

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