S.C. Code Ann. § 38-101-90: Written notice to applicants of consequences of discontinuing coverage under NFIP.

(A) Before placing a personal lines private flood insurance policy with an admitted or surplus lines insurer, an insurance producer, broker, or the insurer shall provide a written notice to the applicant advising that if the applicant discontinues coverage under the NFIP, which is provided at a subsidized rate, the full risk rate for flood insurance may apply to the property if the applicant later seeks to reinstate coverage under the program.

(B) This section only applies if the applicant lives in a special flood hazard area. The producer, broker, or insurer shall retain this notice for three years. This section automatically sunsets if there is federal legislation that allows the insured to switch between private flood insurance and NFIP coverage without penalty.
