South Carolina H3186 regulates the erection of plaques, markers, or messages on historical monuments and memorials on state or school property.

South Carolina H3186 mandates that plaques, markers, or messages on historical monuments and memorials on property owned by political subdivisions or school districts must be erected by the Department of Archives and History and require permission from the respective entity. The department must ensure the content is historically accurate and free of subjective analysis, with a 45-day public review period. The bill also allows for a process and fee schedule for proposing language for such messages. Any historical preservation organization has standing in court to challenge violations.
