Summary
The bill adds a new section to South Carolina law that bars any company owned, controlled, or affiliated with the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party from owning, leasing, possessing, or controlling land within 25 miles of a state or federal military installation for the purpose of installing telecommunications or broadcasting towers. Existing equipment installed before Jan. 1 2025 must be replaced with U.S.-made gear installed by U.S. companies, and all such equipment can be inspected at any time without notice. The measure is intended to protect state critical infrastructure from potential espionage and cyber threats.
