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

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.
