118.2. (SR: Titling of Real Property) It is the intent of the General Assembly to establish a comprehensive central property and office facility management process to plan for the needs of state government agencies and to achieve maximum efficiency and economy in the use of state owned or state leased real properties.

Except for any properties where the department determines title should not be in the name of the State because the properties are subject to reverter clauses or other restraints on the property, or where the department determines the state would be best served by not receiving title, and with the exception of properties, highways and roadways owned by the Department of Transportation, title of any property held by or acquired by a state agency or department shall be titled in the name of the state under the control of the Department of Administration.

This provision is comprehensive and supersedes any conflicting provisions concerning title and acquisition and disposition of state owned real property whether in permanent law, temporary law or by provision elsewhere in this act.

(C) By March fifteenth of each year, the department shall issue a report to the Governor and the General Assembly detailing the number of taxpayers claiming the deduction allowed by this item in the most recent tax year for which there is an accurate figure, and the total monetary value of the deductions claimed pursuant to this item in that same year.

(D) The department shall prescribe the necessary forms to claim the deduction allowed by this section. The department may require the taxpayer to provide proof of the actual costs and the taxpayers eligibility.

118.11. (SR: Tobacco Settlement) (A) To the extent funds are available from payments received on behalf of the State by the Tobacco Settlement Revenue Management Authority from the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) in the current fiscal year, the State Treasurer is authorized and directed, after transferring funds sufficient to cover the operating expenses of the Authority, to transfer the remaining funds as follows:

The amount credited to this Litigation Recovery Account pursuant to this provision is deemed non-recurring revenue and must be expended only in the manner prescribed by law.

118.14. DELETED

118.15. (SR: Farm Aid) There is created the South Carolina Farm Aid Fund. This fund is separate and distinct from the general fund of the State and all other funds. Earnings on this fund must be credited to it. Revenues credited to this fund in a fiscal year must be used in that fiscal year to operate a grant program that provides financial assistance to farmers.

To be eligible for a grant, the person must have:

(1) experienced a verifiable loss of agricultural commodities of at least thirty percent as a result of the flooding occurring in the aftermath of Hurricanes Michael and Florence for which:

(a) the Governor declared a state of emergency in the State for the county in which the farm is located; and

(b) the United States Secretary of Agriculture issued a Secretarial Disaster Declaration for the county in which the farm is located;

(2) a farm number issued by the Farm Service Agency;

(3) signed an affidavit, under penalty of perjury, certifying that each fact of the loss presented by the person is accurate; and

(4) a signed affidavit, under penalty of perjury, certifying that no federal funds have been received for these specific disasters, and in the event that federal funds are received, the person will return all state monies received under this program.

The Department of Agriculture (department) shall administer the grant program authorized by this proviso. The Department of Revenue shall assist the Department of Agriculture in the administration of the grant program by providing auditing services, accounting services, and review and oversight of all financial aspects of the grant program. There is created the Farm Aid Advisory Board to make recommendations to the department regarding the duties of the department in administering the grant program. The Commissioner of Agriculture, or his designee, shall serve ex officio, as chairman of the board. Also, the Director of the Department of Revenue, or his designee, the Vice President for Public Service and Agriculture of Clemson Public Service Activities, or his designee, and the Vice President for Land Grant Services of South Carolina State Public Service Activities, or his designee, shall serve on the board. The following additional members shall be appointed to the board:

(1) the Commissioner of Agriculture shall appoint one member representing the South Carolina Farm Bureau;

(2) the Commissioner of Agriculture shall appoint one member representing a farm credit association;

(3) the Director of the Department of Revenue shall appoint one member representing the crop insurance industry; and

(4) the Director of the Department of Revenue shall appoint one member who is an agricultural commodities producer.

By July twentieth of the current fiscal year, the board shall hold its initial meeting to recommend an application process by which a person with a loss resulting from the flooding occurring in the aftermath of Hurricanes Michael and Florence may apply for a grant. Upon adoption of an application process, the Department of Agriculture shall provide the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee with a written copy of its application process within ten days after its adoption. A person shall apply not later than forty-five days after the adoption of the application process. The department must ensure every person interested in applying for a grant has access to adequate resources to submit his application in a timely manner, and upon request, the department must assist a person with the preparation of his application.

Each grant awarded by the department may not exceed twenty percent of the persons verifiable loss of agricultural commodities. However, a person, including any grant made to a related person, may not receive grants aggregating more than one hundred thousand dollars. Also, a person, including any grant made to a related person, may not receive grants that when combined with losses covered by insurance, exceed one hundred percent of the actual loss. If a grant is made to a related person, the amount to be included in the limits set by this proviso must be the amount of the grant multiplied by the persons ownership interest in the related person. However, a person who shares an ownership interest with another person or entity may not be refused a grant solely because the other person or related person has otherwise received the maximum grant amount, but in this case, the persons grant amount is limited by the persons ownership interest.

If the total amount of grants allowed pursuant to this proviso exceeds the monies in the fund, then each persons grant must be reduced proportionately.

To determine loss, the department:

(1) must measure the persons cumulative total loss of all affected agricultural commodities for the year in which the flooding occurred against the persons expected production of all agricultural commodities affected by the flooding occurring in the aftermath of Hurricanes Michael and Florence;

(2) shall use the persons applicable actual production history yield, as determined by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, to determine loss for insured agricultural commodities. In determining loss for uninsured agricultural commodities, the department shall use the most recent years county price and county yield, as applicable, as determined by the National Agriculture Statistics Service, United States Department of Agriculture; and

(3) may require any documentation or proof it considers necessary to efficiently administer the grant program, including the ownership structure of each entity and the social security numbers of each owner. Minimally, in order to verify loss, the department shall require the submission of dated, signed, and continuous records. These records may include, but are not limited to, commercial receipts, settlement sheets, warehouse ledger sheets, pick records, load summaries, contemporaneous measurements, truck scale tickets, contemporaneous diaries, appraisals, ledgers of income, income statements of deposit slips, cash register tape, invoices for custom harvesting, u-pick records, and insurance documents.

Grant awards must be used for agricultural production expenses and losses due to the flooding which demonstrate an intent to continue the agricultural operation; however, awards may not be used to purchase new equipment. The department shall develop guidelines and procedures to ensure that funds are expended in the manner outlined in grant applications, and may require any documentation it determines necessary to verify the appropriate use of grant awards including receipts.

If the department determines that a person who received a grant provided inaccurate information, then the person shall refund the entire amount of the grant. If the department determines that a person who received a grant used the funds for ineligible expenses, then the person must refund the amount of the ineligible expenses. If the person does not refund the appropriate amount, the Department of Revenue shall utilize the provisions of the Setoff Debt Collection Act to collect the money from the person.

The department shall coordinate the exchange of information between the USDA and the Department of Revenue to identify any person that received a Farm Aid grant for the flooding occurring in the aftermath of Hurricanes Michael and Florence and also received federal aid relief for the same disaster. Any person that is determined to have received grant funds from both the state and federal government, must immediately repay the state grant they received.

If the department determines that a person knowingly provided false information to obtain a grant pursuant to this proviso or knowingly used funds for ineligible expenses, the person shall be subject to prosecution pursuant to Section 16-13-240.

Within forty-five days of the completion of the awarding of grants, but no later than the end of the fiscal year, the Farm Aid Advisory Board is dissolved. Any funds remaining in the fund upon dissolution shall lapse to the general fund.

The department may accept private funds, grants, and property to be used to make financial awards from the grant program.

The Department of Agriculture must administer the grant program authorized by this proviso using existing resources and funds.

If federal funds are allocated for persons that are otherwise eligible for a grant pursuant to this proviso before the current fiscal year begins, then the provisions of this proviso are not effective and no funds may be credited to the South Carolina Farm Aid Fund.

For purposes of this proviso:

(1) Agricultural commodities means wheat, cotton, flax, corn, dry beans, oats, barley, rye, tobacco, rice, peanuts, soybeans, sugar beets, sugar cane, tomatoes, grain sorghum, sunflowers, raisins, oranges, sweet corn, dry peas, freezing and canning peas, forage, apples, grapes, potatoes, industrial hemp, timber and forests, nursery crops, citrus, and other fruits and vegetables, nuts, tame hay, native grass, aquacultural species including, but not limited to, any species of finfish, mollusk, crustacean, or other aquatic invertebrate, amphibian, reptile, or aquatic plant propagated or reared in a controlled or selected environment, excluding stored grain;

(C) Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this provision may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purposes.

118.19. (SR: Expenditure of Federal Funds) Any funds received from the Federal Government that are not allocated directly to a state agency must be expended through the legislative budgeting process.

118.20. (SR: State Ports Authority Projects) Any funds appropriated or authorized for the State Ports Authority by Proviso 118.18 (Nonrecurring Revenue) for the intermodal container transfer facility and waterborne cargo infrastructure must be deposited into a separate and distinct account and shall only be used for costs directly related to those two projects. Funds shall not be used for salaries, bonuses, or any kind of normal administrative costs. Funds shall not be used for personnel expenses not directly related to the implementation of the two projects. In addition, the State Ports Authority shall provide quarterly progress reports on the implementation of each facility to the Joint Bond Review Committee, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. These quarterly reports shall include, but are not limited to, financial results, operating plans, budgets, capital plans, and performance objectives and results for the projects. The Joint Bond Review Committee must review and provide comment on expenditures, and may prescribe the reporting format and such other informational requirements and reports as it deems useful and necessary, to ensure the financial integrity, accountability, and stewardship of the funds and the ongoing operations of the project. To the extent permitted by federal law, if federal funds become available to the State that can be used for the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility or for Waterborne Cargo Infrastructure, those federal funds must first be used to complete the project. Any remaining state funds appropriated for these projects shall be transferred to a restricted account at the Department of Administration.

118.21. (SR: Tax Credits) For the income tax year that begins in the current fiscal year, rehabilitation expenses made at a property that is located within half a mile of a public university with an enrollment of at least 30,000 students in a business district that has a commercial vacancy rate of at least ten percent qualify for the tax credit provided under the South Carolina Abandoned Buildings Revitalization Act, Title 12, Chapter 67, if the building has been unoccupied for at least one year at the time of the filing of notice of intent to rehabilitate for the tax credit, and the estimated rehabilitation expenses are in excess of $25,000,000 with respect to the entire abandoned building, without regard to any subdivision of the abandoned building into separate units or parcels. To qualify under this provision, a notice of intent to rehabilitate for the abandoned building site shall be filed during the current fiscal year, and the municipality or county in which the building site is located shall certify the building site pursuant to Section 12-67-160(A) of the 1976 Code making appropriate adjustments to such certification to be consistent with this provision. Qualifying rehabilitation expenses incurred with respect to such a property shall be eligible for the credit when placed in service; provided, however, that construction must begin on the property prior to the end of the current fiscal year. For purposes of this provision, construction shall be deemed to begin when the building permit is issued for the property. Except as provided herein, the Act shall remain unchanged.

 

END OF PART IB
