A BILL
TO AMEND SECTION 10 OF ACT 340 OF 1967, AS AMENDED, SO
AS TO AUTHORIZE THE CHARLESTON COUNTY BOARD OF
TRUSTEES TO IMPOSE AN ANNUAL TAX LEVY NOT TO
EXCEED SIXTY-NINE MILLS FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 10 of Act 340 of 1967, as last amended by Act
1602 of 1972, is further amended to read:
"Section 10. The Board of Trustees of the Charleston School
District shall prepare and submit to the Charleston County Legislative
Delegation, as information, on or before the fifteenth day of August of
each year beginning in 1968 a proposed budget for the ensuing
school year. In order to obtain funds for school purposes the board is
authorized to impose an annual tax levy, commencing in 1968, not
to exceed ninety mills not to exceed sixty-nine mills,
exclusive of any millage imposed for bond debt service.
In the event the board determines that the annual tax levy should
exceed ninety sixty-nine mills, the board shall hold a
public hearing on the question at least two weeks prior to submitting
such a request to the legislative delegation. Notice of such public
hearing shall be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the
county, and shall state the date, time and place of the hearing as well as
a clearly worded statement of the requested annual tax levy. Upon
certification by the board to the county auditor of the tax levy to be
imposed, the auditor shall levy and the county treasurer shall
collect the millage so certified upon all taxable property in the
district."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
