AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 12-31-15 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTY AUDITORS AND BY ADDING SECTION 12-45-15 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTY TREASURERS.

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

County auditors continuing education requirements

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 12-31-15. (A) County auditors shall complete satisfactorily an annual one week continuing education course which the Comptroller General establishes or causes to be established. Failure to complete satisfactorily the course in any year results in the auditor forfeiting his state salary supplement for that year as this supplement is provided in the annual general appropriations act. The course content, cost, and dates of the course must be determined by the Comptroller General.

(B) The Comptroller General may excuse a county auditor from attending this annual course for any year because of a death in the immediate family of the auditor occurring during the course or within three days of the beginning of the course or due to sickness which a medical doctor certifies will prevent the auditor from attending or completing the course. If excused, the auditor does not forfeit his state salary supplement for that year. No auditor may be excused for two consecutive years."

County treasurers continuing education requirements

SECTION 2. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 12-45-15. (A) County treasurers shall complete satisfactorily an annual one week continuing education course which the Comptroller General establishes or causes to be established. Failure to satisfactorily complete the course in any year results in the treasurer forfeiting his state salary supplement for that year as this supplement is provided in the annual general appropriations act. The course content, cost, and dates thereof must be determined by the Comptroller General.

(B) The Comptroller General may excuse a county treasurer from attending this annual course for any year because of a death in the immediate family of the treasurer occurring during the course or within three days of the beginning of the course or due to sickness which a medical doctor certifies will prevent the treasurer from attending or completing the course. If excused, the treasurer does not forfeit his state salary supplement for that year. No treasurer may be excused for two consecutive years."

Time effective

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Approved the 25th day of April, 1990.
