Chamber Passed·5/6/26

Establishes the Lake Conestee Dam Authority to oversee the dam's repair and operation.

The bill creates the Lake Conestee Dam Authority, a body corporate and politic, to manage the Lake Conestee Dam. The authority will be governed by a board of three trustees, each from Laurens, Greenwood, and Greenville counties. The board can hire an executive director to manage the authority's assets and maintain financial records. The authority will assume ownership of the dam after construction and modifications, ensuring it meets regulatory requirements. The authority must work with the Department of Environmental Services to inspect and maintain the dam.
