S.0832

University Campus Events Zoning

Complete·6/2/26

South Carolina S0832 prohibits counties and municipalities from restricting campus events based on zoning ordinances.

South Carolina S0832 amends the state code to ensure that no county or municipality can prohibit, restrict, condition, delay, or require land use approval for events held on the campus of a state-supported institution of higher learning based on zoning ordinances or land use classifications. The bill clarifies that these restrictions cannot be used as a pretext for prohibited zoning or land use restrictions. It also maintains local authorities' ability to enforce generally applicable safety laws. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
