H 2555 General Bill, By J.C. Hayes
 A Bill to amend the Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, by adding Section
 12-49-465 so as to prohibit judicial invalidation of a tax title where there
 has been substantial compliance with the laws governing tax sales of real
 property; to amend Section 12-49-570, relating to the sheriff's deed as prima
 facie evidence of good title of the holder and the limitation on actions to
 recover the land sold by the sheriff for taxes, so as to provide that no
 action for recovery of such land shall be maintained unless bought within two
 years from the date of the recordation of the sheriff's deed and to provide
 that such date shall also be deemed to be the date the purchaser was put into
 possession; to amend the 1976 Code by adding Section 12-49-575 so as to make
 the sale binding on a competent true owner of property levied on for taxes
 when such owner had actual notice of the levy or sale; and to amend Sections
 12-49-600, 12-49-610 and 12-49-630, relating to liens of dispossessed tax sale
 purchasers, refunds of certain tax sale purchasers and limitations on
 enforcement of such liens and refunds, so as to provide a lien for certain
 claims of a tax sale purchaser or his assigns and a method for enforcing the
 lien, to require that taxing authorities be made parties to an action to
 enforce a lien and reduce the lien by any amount refunded by such taxing
 authorities, and to establish a two-year limitation on the enforcement of such
 liens.
