TO EXEMPT CERTAIN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS FROM REMOVAL AND PENALTIES FOR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN ORDER TO ALLOW PERMITS TO BE ISSUED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND TO AMEND SECTION 57-25-140, RELATING TO SIGNS PERMITTED ALONG INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, SO AS TO EXEMPT TEMPORARY AGRICULTURAL, POLITICAL, AND SPECIAL EVENT SIGNS FROM PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.

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

The provisions of this item are effective only for one year from the date of its enactment."

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
