TO DIRECT THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSION ON ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE TO ALLOCATE TO THE SPARTANBURG ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE COMMISSION A PORTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE STATE UNDER PUBLIC LAW 102-321 TO ESTABLISH A DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM TO SERVE WOMEN AND YOUTH IN SPARTANBURG, UNION, AND CHEROKEE COUNTIES.
Whereas, of the larger counties in this State, Spartanburg County is the only one of its size that has no local detoxification services; and
Whereas, there is a demand in Spartanburg County and in the adjacent counties of Union and Cherokee for detoxification services, but with no local services available, residents of these counties are transported by law enforcement to Columbia and Anderson for services; and
Whereas, transporting individuals out of these counties for detoxification services that must be purchased at a higher rate than could be provided locally is an inefficient use of law enforcement officers and human resource dollars; and
Whereas, Public Law 103-321, the federal alcohol and drug block grant, has appropriated approximately $12.4 million to the South Carolina Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse for fiscal year 1993 and of this, approximately $2.7 million are new revenues for this fiscal year. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The South Carolina Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse shall allocate six hundred thousand dollars from federal funds appropriated to the State under Public Law 102-321 to the Spartanburg Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission to establish a community detoxification program targeted to serve women and youth in Spartanburg, Union, and Cherokee Counties.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
