1 SESSION REVIEW

2 SESSION REVIEW Dear HBA of SC Members, The 2017 legislative session (the first year of a two year session) has concluded and we are pleased to report that your advocacy team were able to continue to protect the housing industry from unnecessary regulations and set a foundation for future prosperity. Last fall our leadership charted an ambitious legislative agenda to safeguard our industry, protect affordable housing and promote a skilled workforce. Major initiatives like these requires all of the elements of modern advocacy. The HBA employed lobbyists and strong electronic issues advocacy tools to address more than 125 bills that could affect our industry. These tools were paired with technical research on our key issues, expert testimony from our membership, grassroots engagement at key moments in the session, and the annual gathering at the Bird Supper. All of these elements work together to raise awareness and to inspire legislators to act. With a half-dozen major proposals working their way through the process, it took dedicated housing champions to manage these bills and all of our efforts must continue through next year. The mission of the HBASC is advocacy of our industry. Our association has been, and will continue to be, a major contributor toward our state s growth in the decades to come. Your involvement in the HBA secures your voice in the future of your livelihood. Our Association must continue to protect the future of homeownership through affordable housing; develop and maintain a skilled workforce and promote a foundation for further economic development. We need the Home Builders Association to persevere in both legislative and regulatory affairs in the years to come. Thank you for your support of the HBA! HBASC LEGISLATIVE SUCCESS HBASC began the 2017 legislative session by establishing four strategic objectives to guide our activities and to create a means to measure results. 1 ELEVATE HBASC and the Housing Industry 2 COLLABORATE with Like-Minded Groups 3 4 DEFEND the Industry Against Harmful Legislation ADVANCE Housing Affordability Legislation WE SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED ALL FOUR OBJECTIVES PAGE 2 SESSION REVIEW 2017

3 HBASC INITIATIVES I. H Business License Reform Sponsor: Representative Bill Sandifer (R-Oconee) Co-Sponsors: Reps. Anderson, Atwater, Bedingfield, Erickson, Forrester, Hamilton, Jordan, McEachern, Ryhal, Simrill, Tallon, Taylor and White. PASSED House LCI Comm. Unfortunately, H.3650 was recalled to LCI from the House floor. The HBASC and our trade association partners have worked for years to improve the business license environment in South Carolina. Our members have expressed significant concerns with the current system, and have approved this issue as the HBASC s number one priority this session. Chairman Bill Sandifer of the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee introduced H.3650 that includes many changes to the current business license tax system that provides more than $300 million annually to county and local municipalities. Our bill would help provide responsible administration to a fee that continues to grow an average of almost 5% yearly and silently cost every S.C household more than $500 a year. The Bill Provides: The HBASC is appreciative of the Chairman's efforts to reform, update, and standardize the current business license tax system. We will continue working with him and the members of the LCI Committee to bring this bill to the House floor for consideration in The business license tax will be computed based on adjusted gross income; Directs the Secretary of State to operate an on-line portal and will be in charge of standardizing business license tax forms; Ensures certificate of occupancies cannot be withheld because a subcontractor has not paid a business license tax; Removes the "stacking of fees" on all trades on a house; The Secretary of State determines the new Business License Class Schedule; and Counties and municipalities can adopt a subclassification but must provide advance notice of 7 days before holding a public meeting regarding a new subclass.

4 HBASC INITIATIVES II. H Home Owners Association Reform Sponsor: Representative Heather Ammons Crawford (R-Horry) Co- Sponsors: Reps. Ryhal, Hamilton, Sandifer, Fry, Putnam, Clemmons, Yow, Anderson, Johnson, Hardee, Huggins, Hewitt, Duckworth, Bowers, Sottile, Crosby, Felder, Bennett, Thigpen, Whipper, Brown, Hixon, Taylor, King, Daning, Spires, Henderson, Pitts, Kirby, White, McCravy, Hill, Gagnon, West, Wheeler, Davis, Murphy, Hayes, Ott, V.S. Moss, Lowe, Jordan and McKnight. PASSED HOUSE FLOOR H.3886 language was amended by the Senate. The bill has been contested on Senate Floor for third and final reading. Consistency and transparency are the keys for Home Owners Associations (HOA) to provide good governance to help ensure their rules, regulations and policies are clearly defined and communicated to members. There have been several bills filed that would require developers to turnover control of the HOA prior to reaching 100% build-out, and mandate HOA Board members to attain training, continuing education and licensing. Other provisions would require an HOA to meet additional regulatory requirements, which would impose additional costs directly to homeowners and adversely affecting builders/developers. The HBASC supports H.3886 with changes to the bill that was amended by Senator Rankin. The HBASC would like to thank Sen. Hembree and Rep. Atwater for their leadership and work over the last few years on HOA reform. We also wish to thank Jud Smith, Harry Dill, Dick Unger and Ryan McCabe for their continued efforts toward HOA reform. The Bill Provides: Disclosure of governing documents to prospective buyers; Voluntary education for homeowners and board members; Prohibiting fees to access the governing documents online; Providing magistrate courts jurisdiction to handle disputes; and An HOA Ombusdman with the Department of Consumer Affairs. The HBASC supports and will continue to work toward a bill that will protect private property and homeowners rights, and provide a clear and defined set of rules and a consistent process that HOAs must follow for the benefit of the community and the homeowners. Suggested Changes to H.3886 as amended by Senate: The term "Declarant" is already a commonly defined term in most declarations. The new definition, as written, is wide-reaching and could be interpreted to include builders, real estate agents and other promoters of a community. Needlessly, placing liability on many parties. Specifically defining governing documents as: Governing documents means any instrument: (a) establishing a homeowners association and governing its management or operation; and (b) including, but not limited to, the master deed or master lease, covenants, conditions, and restrictions, declarations, bylaws, and any amendments thereto. Maintain disclosure but remove some of the added burdens to a voluntary board by including language that would allow a percentage increase cap of at least 10% to the annual budget, before triggering the requirement that notice to HOA members of a meeting to increase the annual budget be provided (i.e. increase in utility costs). These meetings will normally occur in November, which is shortly before the frequently used December 1 invoice date for the Annual Assessment, so advance notice of the decision would have little or no impact. Representative Heather Ammons Crawford (R-Horry) PAGE 4 SESSION REVIEW 2017

5 HBASC INITIATIVES III. S S.C. Building Codes Reform Sponsor: Senator Thomas Alexander (R-Oconee/Pickens) Co-Sponsors: Senators Corbin, Gambrell, Climer, Campbell, Cromer, Hembree and Timmons. The HBASC has worked with a number of groups to create the South Carolina Building Codes bill. This statespecific code would allow for a more efficient and effective code adoption process. The new code would be tailored to the safety and affordability of homeowners in South Carolina. A S.C. Building Codes would save homeowners thousands of dollars from unnecessary and frequent changes and allow for improved efficiency for builders, tradesmen, code officials and inspectors. The S.C. Building Codes bill would allow S.C. to join a national movement to a six year flex code adoption cycle from the current three year cycle. Preparing for Full Committee Hearing POSITIONED TO ADVANCE IN 2018 The Bill Provides: A S.C. Building Code for all construction that will be based on the geographic and weather conditions of our state; Promote a single code to allow for better enforcement and quality of construction for the citizens of S.C. The 2015 S.C. Building Codes Manual in use today that is published by the ICC will be the base code; The bill would modify the way codes are adopted. Instead of only a 17 member council with little to no experience in construction process/standards it will instead use Technical Review Committees for both commercial and residential construction. These committees will be made up of experienced professionals from construction, safety and code enforcement fields who have had experience in their field for at least 10 years; Allows S.C. to match a 6 year residential code cycle that many states have already turned to instead of the current 3 year cycle for residential, but maintain a 3 year code cycle for commercial; Greater flexibility to update those codes within the cycle. Any modification, after promulgation, would then reflect the year it was adopted (i.e. Modifications in 2019 would then represent the 2019 S.C. Building Codes, which would keep SC ahead of every state in the adoption process); Allows for flexibility for research concerning strength of materials, safe design and other factors that our public and private colleges/universities can and will provide (i.e. the wind and seismic maps produced by Clemson University and the Citadel) and; The S.C. Building Code would require that any modification to the building code also include a preliminary fiscal impact statement reflecting estimates of costs to be incurred by the public and state agencies in complying with the proposed modifications.

6 HBASC INITIATIVES IV. South Carolina Infrastructure Funding The HBA of SC supported a user fee (gas tax) that will only be used to support road and infrastructure repair and improvements. PASSED HOUSE AND SENATE GOES INTO EFFECT AFTER JULY 1, 2017 When will Gas Tax Increase? What other Fees are Affected? What Offsets to the Tax are Included in the Bill? Will there be DOT Reform? An initial 2-cent per gallon increase in the state's gas tax would take effect July 1. The gas tax would then increase another 2 cents per gallon each year through $16 fee every two years to register a vehicle $60 in fees every two years if they own a hybrid vehicle $120 in fees every two years if they own an electric vehicle Up to $200 in added sales taxes if they buy a used car that costs between $6,000 and $10,000. Buyers who purchase vehicles that cost more than $10,000 also would pay an added $200. That tax hike is the result of increasing the cap on the sales tax on vehicle sales to $500 from $300. A one-time fee of up to $250 if they buy a vehicle out of state and register it in South Carolina. The bill includes an income tax credit for South Carolina residents that is meant to offset the increased gas tax. The bill also would increase the state's college tuition tax credit, as well as increasing the tax credit for dual-income households that file joint returns. Besides creating a low-income tax credit for working families, the legislation calls for lowering the property tax burden on the state's manufacturing sector over the next six years. Yes. The Governor will gain more control over the DOT board. The DOT board will now have nine members, up from the current eight, with two atlarge members appointed by the governor and seven others -- one from each congressional district -- also appointed by the governor. Rep. Gary Simrill (R -York) speaks during a April 18 press conference Senator Hugh Leatherman, Sr. (R-Florence/Darlington) and Senator Harvey Peeler, Jr. (R-Cherokee/York/Spartanburg/Union) PAGE 6 SESSION REVIEW 2017

7 HBASC INITIATIVES V. BE PRO BE PROUD S.C. WORKFORCE INITIATIVE The Be Pro Be Proud S.C. initiative will be leading the movement to bring a new generation of PRIDE, PROGRESS & PROFESSIONALS to South Carolina s skilled workforce through a unique private/public partnership. Currently, tens of thousands of workers are needed in the skilled trades and supply chain-related industries in South Carolina, but the state lacks a collaborative initiative targeting this workforce. S.C. citizens, young and old, who are at-risk and/ or not college-bound can be encouraged to find a path to rewarding, prideful professional careers. Parents, as well as adults seeking better work opportunities, need to be convinced there is a relatively quick, low-cost path to good jobs and rewarding careers. NOT SUPPORTED BY HOUSE CONFEREES GOVERNOR McMASTER HAS MADE THIS A PRIORITY ISSUE FOR HIS ADMINISTRATION The HBASC and its workforce allies are sorely disappointed by the House s unwillingness to support the BPBP Skilled Trades Workforce Promotion Initiative. The budget provision was nixed by the Budget Conference Committee during negotiations last week. House conferees, Representatives Brian White (Chairman -R- Anderson); Mike Pitts (R-Greenwood); and Leon Stavrinakis (D-Charleston) refused to support the initiative. All three Senate conferees, Senators Hugh Leatherman (R- Florence) Nikki Setzler (D-Lexington) and Sean Bennett (R- Dorchester) supported this effort throughout the process. The following group of organizations worked together under the auspices of the Associated Industries of S.C. Foundation to support the initiative. Homebuilders Association of SC SC Trucking Association Carolina s Associated General Contractors Forestry Association of SC SC Chamber of Commerce SC Farm Bureau SC Petroleum Marketers Association SC Timber Producers Association Palmetto Agribusiness Council SC Motor Coach Association Carolinas Ready-Mix Concrete Association SC Propane Gas Association SC Beverage Association SC Asphalt Pavement Association SC Retail Association SC Beer Wholesalers Association Our 16-member coalition (The Associated Industries of South Carolina Foundation) will pursue every avenue going forward to find money to implement this program. We will search state agencies budgets, state, and federal grants, etc. We are meeting with Governor McMaster, who championed this for us, and will find a means of moving this initiative forward!

8 HBASC INITIATIVES VI. S.C. Residential Builders Licensing Bill The HBASC is continuing to work to improve the builders licensing process to protect the profession of home building and the home buyer. TO BE INTRODUCED WOULD GO INTO EFFECT AFTER NEXT RENEWAL The Bill Provides: The work experience requirements will be increased from 1 to 2 years, but the RBC has final discretion and can take into account education and other work experience. A criminal background check will be a part of all new applications. A tiered builder s license system will be created based on voluntary education requirements and noted on the license. A Licensed Residential Builder equates to the current requirements. An Accredited Residential Builder requires 8hrs of approved classes every 2 years. A Master Builder requires 24 hrs of approved classes every 2 years. Address that a licensed Residential Builder can construct their model homes and is not mandatory to include ADA standards. Clarify that any claim on the bond must come through the S.C. Residential Builders Commission. A minimum credit score or proof of net worth would be required. Separate specialty contractors into two groups Mechanical and Handyman. Mechanical Contractors will be made up of HVAC, Electrician, Plumbing, and a newly created category Solar Panel Installer. Each of these will be tested. A Handyman license will allow for any other work that is not tested. Clarify that a licensed Residential builder holds all the licenses and so can use unlicensed workers under their supervision. A licensed specialty contractor can also use unlicensed workers under their supervision for work for which their license is valid. Allow a residential builder's license to renovate apartment buildings if not changing load walls. Reps. Nathan Ballentine (R -Richland/Lexington), Beth Bernstein ( D - Richland) and Todd Atwater (R - Lexington) Senator Shane Massey (R-Aiken/Edgefield/Lexington/Saluda/McCormick) PAGE 8 I SESSION REVIEW 2017 A / BA 1scr

9 HBASC INITIATIVES VII. ADDITIONAL PENDING LEGISLATION S.281 / H Roll Back Taxes Sponsors: Senator Shane Massey and Representatives Long, Bales, Martin, Burns, Chumley, Daning, Magnuson, Loftis, G.R. Smith, Simrill, B. Newton, Fry, Jordan, Elliott, Pope, Atkinson, Yow, Anthony, Williams, Bannister, Bedingfield, Forrester, Henderson, Herbkersman, Hill, Hixon, Lowe, V.S. Moss, Putnam, Sandifer, Toole and Tallon. HOUSING POSITIVE BILL Currently land classified for agriculture use receives special tax breaks but when this land is converted to residential or commercial usage the new owner is forced to pay roll-back taxes. The newly acquired or reclassified property is then taxed based upon the full value previously determined by the county, and five years of roll-back taxes are due. Rep. Steven Long (R- Spartanburg) and Senator Shane Massey (R-Aiken, Edgefield, Lexington, Saluda and McCormick) have introduced legislation that would limit the roll-back tax penalty to one year instead of the last five years when converting agriculture property to residential or commercial use. Status: This bill is currently being held up as we wait for the court's decision in a pending case dealing with this issue. HOUSING NEGATIVE BILL S.346 / H S.C. Inclusionary Zoning Act Sponsor: Senator Marlon Kimpson and Representatives Mack, Whipper, Gilliard and Brown. The legislation would provide authority for counties and municipalities to use inclusionary zoning strategies to increase the development of affordable housing for low and moderate income families and/or charge a fee to the builder/developer in lieu of the zoning. Meeting the demand for affordable housing has long been a hot button topic for homebuilders, public officials and of course, those looking to stake their claims as homeowners. After all, home ownership remains an almost sure-fire way for low- and moderateincome families to build equity and better their financial futures. Inclusionary zoning occurs when local governments attempt to promote affordable home ownership through zoning that mandates homebuilders construct a certain number of affordable homes in a new development. For example, a developer building a subdivision of more than 50 single-family homes would have to set aside15 percent of the total for moderately-priced (less than 80% of median market value) dwellings. By mandating the construction of these units, counties would be directly impacting the value of land and restricting the rights of landowners to get the greatest return possible on their property. Another dilemma for property owners and builders is extra time and fees associated with the zoning. Are builders expected to pass the extra financial burden along to homebuyers? Does a higherpriced home not defeat the purpose of the regulations? Will prices then also be higher for the majority of homeowners to help offset the additional costs of these undervalued homes? A published Reason Institute policy study, Housing Supply and Affordability: Do Affordable Housing Mandates Work, found that after passing an inclusionary ordinance the average city produced less than 15 affordable units per year. The study of 45 cities also found that new construction decreased by 31 percent following the adoption of inclusionary zoning and the price of new homes in the median city increased by $22,000 to $44,000. Status: S. 346 was carried over (being held in place) in the Senate Judiciary Committee and H.4162 has not had a hearing. S.C. Senate Chamber PAGE 9 SESSION REVIEW 2017
