The South Carolina Senate gave final approval today to the insurer-supported Omnibus Coast Property Insurance Reform Act.

Joel Sawyer, a spokesman for Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, said the governor will sign the bill, which probably will not reach his desk until next week.

The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) said the governor and legislature, by moving the measure, were "advancing a positive agenda of reform that in the long run will strengthen the state's coastal insurance market."
