McMaster Signs Bill Supporting Free Parking at the Beach

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Gov. Henry McMaster on Monday signed into law a bill clarifying that beach towns can't eliminate free parking along state roads without permission from South Carolina officials.
The new law is the latest faceoff in the longtime struggle between people in South Carolina who can afford to live at the beach and people who want to visit.
The law requires state permission to change parking along a state road. It also requires that any fees charged by beach towns for parking only offset the amount spent to provide services to visitors.
Most of those provisions were already in state law. Supporters felt they needed to be clarified after towns, mostly close to Charleston like Isle of Palms and Folly Beach, first closed the roads to their islands when the COVID-19 pandemic began last year and later banned free parking after the governor ordered beaches to reopen in late spring 2020.
