SCAHACC Members:

Approximately two weeks ago, SCAHACC Legislative Chairman, Randy Pardee contacted Gary Wiggins, Administrator, of the SC Building Codes Council, SC Department of the Labor, Licensing and Regulations, regarding the potential of unforeseen and unintended consequences of recently enacted law (H-3550).  Mr. Wiggins listened to the concerns expressed and offered to see what could be done.

Last Friday, Mr. Wiggins asked SCAHACC to provide testimony to the SC Building Codes Council in a specially called meeting for this morning.  At 10:45 am today, two members of the SCAHACC Legislative Committee, Randy Pardee and David Williams, provided testimony regarding the affects of the immediate implementation of the R-8 requirement due to a law that was passed at the end of the Legislative Session.  Based on their testimony and information provided to the Council by its staff, it has been agreed to provide a moratorium on the R-8 Requirement until Jan. 1, 2010.  A moratorium is a legally authorized period of delay in the performance of a legal obligation.

You may use either R-6 or R-8 during this time period but as of January 1, 2010 — only R-8 will be allowed.  All other changes provided in the recently enacted law (H-3550) apply as of July 1 as stated.

This moratorium would NOT have been possible without Mr. Gary Wiggins’ knowledge and support. The association wishes to thank Mr. Wiggins and his staff and the Building Codes Council for their understanding and their efforts.
