Senate Bill 642 affects public finance investments and should be reviewed. It will be codified at sections 6-5-10, 6-5-15, 11-14-110, and 11-13-60 in the SC Code of Laws.

This bill became law without the signature of the Governor on May 22, 2008.

I’ve been invited to present at the South Carolina County Attorneys’ annual two-day continuing legal education seminar this year at Hilton Head Island. I’ll be presenting Friday morning on the topic of indemnification provisions from the government attorney’s perspective.

Other tentatively-planned topics include:

  • The Law of the Open Road: Public Rights-of-Way
  • Bankruptcy: What County Attorneys Ought to Know
  • Economic Development
  • FOIA
  • Document Retention (Beginner Level); E-Discovery (Intermediate Level)

Anyone interested in joining the SCACA can contact D’Anne Haydel, the current president of the group. If you’d like more information, drop me a line and I’ll connect you with D’Anne; I don’t want to drop her email into a public website without her prior knowledge!
