Allows rural counties to exceed the millage cap to support fire protection districts.
This bill amends the South Carolina Code to allow the governing body of a rural county to suspend the millage cap to support a fire protection district. This provision applies to rural counties with a population of 70,000 or less as of the 2020 census that lack a full-time fire department fully supported by local fire millage. The suspension must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the county council within one year of the bill's effective date.
