Summary
The law amends South Carolina’s code to forbid moving, removing, altering, or renaming any public monument or memorial that commemorates listed historic events, figures, or groups. It permits limited updates—such as adding newly‑identified names to an already‑honored class—and gives designated nonprofit groups the right to sue if the protections are breached. The bill also sets procedures for relocation when property changes hands or for temporary moves needed for public works.
