The Post and Courier: Gov. Henry McMaster signed legislation Wednesday limiting the public's ability to challenge business or industrial development permits on environmental grounds.
The law, called "automatic stay," puts a 90-day limit on the amount of time a judge could issue a "stay," or stop order, on a project from going ahead while an environmental permit is appealed to the state's Administrative Law Court.
It also puts a 30-day limit on the time a permit could be appealed.
