TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 6-11-2027 SO AS TO ALLOW THE GOVERNING BODY OF A SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT CREATED BY ACT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT PROVIDES RECREATIONAL SERVICES AND HAS AS ITS BOUNDARY THE SAME AS THE COUNTY IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED TO VOLUNTARILY DISSOLVE ITSELF AND TRANSFER ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TO A COUNTY IF ACCEPTED BY RESOLUTION OF ITS GOVERNING BODY AND TO PROVIDE FOR CALCULATING THE MILLAGE LIMITATION FOR A COUNTY WHEN A SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT TRANSFERS ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TO A COUNTY.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Article 15, Chapter 11, Title 6 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 6-11-2027.    (A)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this article, the governing body of a special purpose district created by act of the General Assembly that provides only recreational services and has as its boundary the same as the county in which it is located, by resolution, may transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the governing body of a county. The provisions of this section are applicable only if the governing body of the county adopts a resolution agreeing to the terms of the resolution and the provisions of Section 6-11-2140 are followed.

(B)    For purposes of calculating the millage limitation imposed pursuant to Section 6-1-320 for a county, any millage for operating purposes imposed by the dissolved special purpose district is deemed to have been imposed by the county."
