S.C. Code § 39-14-10
2006 Act No. 235, Section 1, provides as follows:
"The General Assembly finds that it is the policy of this State to protect the rights of private property owners and to encourage local governing bodies, off-premises outdoor advertising sign owners, and landowners with signs on their property to enter into relocation and reconstruction agreements that allow governmental entities to undertake public projects and accomplish public goals while allowing the continued maintenance of private investment in signage as a medium of commercial and noncommercial communication. The General Assembly further finds that it is the policy of this State to promote arbitration as a means of settling disputes regarding the valuation of off-premises outdoor advertising signs instead of litigation."
