TO AMEND SECTION 8-11-80, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH
CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO DEDUCTION FOR
INSURANCE PREMIUMS FROM AN EMPLOYEE'S
COMPENSATION, SO AS TO INCLUDE PREMIUMS FOR
PREPAID LEGAL INSURANCE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 8-11-80 of the 1976 Code is amended to
read:
"Section 8-11-80. The Comptroller General may, upon
request of employees of the State, make deductions from the
compensation of the employees for the payment of premiums for
life, hospital, prepaid legal and other types of insurance
plans as are in force and a member of the deduction system on the
effective date of this act. The Comptroller General may not make
deductions where deductions are made for less than two hundred
fifty state employees in any particular plan. The Comptroller
General shall pay over to the insurance company, or its agents
designated to receive the funds, all amounts so collected or
withheld. No part of the cost of the insurance or expenses
incidental to the payroll deduction must be borne by the State, nor
must any liability whatsoever be incurred by the State in connection
with the deduction, nor may the State in any way aid insurance
companies in the solicitation of policies by expressly or
implicity implicitly endorsing any particular
insurance plan or company."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the
Governor.
