TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
6-1-145 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN ROADSIDE MARKETS OPERATED BY FARMERS ARE 
NOT CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS FOR LOCAL ZONING PURPOSES AND ARE EXEMPT 
FROM CERTAIN LOCAL AND STATE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, AND TO DEFINE NECESSARY 
TERMS, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

 Amend Title To Conform

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 1, Chapter 1, Title 6 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
6-1-145. (A) For purposes of this 
section, "roadside market" means a direct-to-consumer point located near a 
roadway on a farmer's leased or owned farm property that the farmer controls where 
an individual farmer sells farm products produced on his farm in this State to 
the general public, including fresh produce and farm goods such as honey, eggs, 
and jellies. A roadside market does not include multivendor farmers' markets or 
similar outlets. Hemp based products designed to be ingested are not permitted 
to be sold in a roadside market. 

 (B) 
Notwithstanding another provision of law, a roadside market, as defined in 
subsection (A), may not be classified or required by a county or municipality 
to be zoned as a commercial operation.

 (C) A 
roadside market is exempt from local government stormwater regulations, 
stormwater permitting requirements, and local building codes, including 
permitting, inspection, and construction requirements otherwise applicable to 
commercial or retail structures. A local government shall not be held liable 
for any occurrence that arises as a result of the exemption provided for in 
this section.

 (D) A 
roadside market is exempt from the provisions of the South Carolina Surface 
Water Withdrawal, Permitting Use, and Reporting Act, contained in Chapter 4, 
Title 49.

 (E) A 
roadside market seeking certification as a Certified Roadside Market by the 
South Carolina Department of Agriculture under the Roadside Market Incentive 
Program pursuant to Article 5, Chapter 19, Title 46 and regulations promulgated 
pursuant to that article may not be exempt from the requirements of that 
voluntary program by the provisions of this section.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
