A BILL

TO PROVIDE THAT THE TAX MILLAGE LEVIED FOR GENERAL OPERATIONAL PURPOSES FOR ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN FLORENCE COUNTY AND ANY FEES IN LIEU OF TAXES RECEIVED BY THESE DISTRICTS FOR ANY YEAR MUST BE PLACED IN A SPECIAL ACCOUNT AND DISTRIBUTED TO EACH DISTRICT ON A PRO RATA BASIS BASED ON AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE, TO PROVIDE THAT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS SHALL CONSTITUTE THE FUNDS A DISTRICT RECEIVES TO OPERATE ITS SCHOOLS FOR THAT YEAR FROM AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES, AND TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONS FOR TAX MILLAGE LEVIED FOR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS PURPOSES.

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

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law:

(A) The tax millage levied for general operational purposes for all school districts in Florence County in any year and any fees in lieu of taxes received by these districts for that year for general operational purposes must be placed into a special account by the county treasurer. Each school district from this special account shall then receive a pro rata distribution from the county treasurer based on the average daily attendance of all schools in the district as reflected in the one hundred thirty-five day report, as compared to the average daily attendance of all schools of all districts in the county as reflected in the one hundred thirty-five day report. The distribution to each school district shall constitute the funds it receives to operate the schools of the district for that particular year from ad valorem property taxes.

(B) The provisions of this section do not apply to tax millage levied for bonded indebtedness purposes of any district in the county.

(C) The manner of levying the annual tax millage for the five school districts of Florence County both for operational and bonded indebtedness purposes shall continue to be as provided by law.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
