After four drafts and a split vote, Effingham County commissioners approved the first reading of a timber operations ordinance. By a 3-2 vote, commissioners took a step in enacting new regulations for loggers in the county. The ordinance does not include a surety bond, which timber cutters had lobbied against, and does not require a notice of 48 hours before beginning operations.
