Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 30-15-60 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 30-15-60. (A) Any A person desiring a certified copy of any a discharge or certificate of lost discharge, registered under the provisions of this chapter, shall apply for it to the clerk of court of the county in which the discharge or certificate of lost discharge is registered, and the clerk of court shall furnish a certified copy upon the payment of a fee of fifty cents therefor. Fees for furnishing a certified copy of DD 214 or discharge may be established by each county but not to exceed fifty cents.
(B) The clerk of court may designate the county veterans' affairs officer to receive these applications and furnish these copies as provided by subsection (A) of this section.
(C) The clerk of court or the register of mesne conveyances may designate to the county veterans' affairs officer all responsibilities under Sections 30-15-10, 30-15-20, 30-15-30, 30-15-40, and 30-15-60 to receive, record, and maintain recorded discharges so long as the clerk of court or the register of mesne conveyances, and the county veterans' affairs officer agree to the transfer of the responsibilities. A transfer of records, in the manner authorized by this section, must be approved by the governing body of the county. Upon making the transfer of records, the county veterans' affairs officer may issue certified copies as requested."
