Amateur Radio Antenna Protection Act restricts local ordinances on amateur radio antennas in South Carolina.

The Amateur Radio Antenna Protection Act ensures that local ordinances in South Carolina regarding amateur radio antennas must align with the Amateur Radio Preemption. This means that any regulations on placement, screening, or height of antennas must accommodate amateur communications and be the minimum necessary to achieve local health, safety, or aesthetic goals. The act aims to safeguard amateur radio operators' rights to install and use antennas on their property, recognizing amateur radio's importance in emergency communications and STEM education.
