(A581, R367, S1247)

AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 269 OF 1989, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO ANNUAL BUDGETS AND SCHOOL TAXES FOR THE ANDERSON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE TAX MILLAGE MUST BE SET BY THE ANDERSON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION BASED ON THE CERTIFIED ASSESSMENT VALUES PROVIDED TO THE BOARD BY THE ANDERSON COUNTY AUDITOR, TO DELETE REFERENCES TO OTHER DATES BY WHICH MILLAGE MUST BE SET, AND PROVIDE THAT THE MILLAGE MUST BE SET IN A TIMELY MANNER AND TO CORRECT AN OBSOLETE REFERENCE.

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

Millage set

SECTION 1. Section 1(C) of Act 269 of 1989, as amended by Act 579 of 1992, is further amended to read:

"(C) The tax millage necessary to fund the budget must be based on the certified assessment values provided to the board by the county auditor. The millage must be determined by the board in a timely manner."

Reference revised

SECTION 2. Section 1(D) of Act 269 of 1989 is amended to read:

"(D) The tax millage for each district may not increase more than eight mills in a fiscal year without the prior approval of a majority of the qualified electors of the district in a referendum. However, the millage for a district may be increased by an additional two mills to a total of ten mills without the requirement of a referendum if the county board of education determines that the district has demonstrated a hardship or emergency situation and the hardship or emergency situation does not require a recurring allocation of funds. The millage may be increased by ten mills as provided for in this subsection only once within four fiscal years. All funds generated by an increase in millage in excess of eight mills which is generated for a hardship or emergency situation must not be included when determining a school district's prior year's local financial effort for purposes of Section 59-21-1030 of the 1976 Code."

Time effective

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Approved the 20th day of April, 1994.
