TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 6-1-60 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY IMPOSING A USER FEE WHICH IS BILLED ON AN AD VALOREM TAX NOTICE MAY BY ORDINANCE PROVIDE THAT AN UNPAID USER FEE CONSTITUTES A LIEN ON THE TAXABLE PROPERTY WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED AND COLLECTED AS PROPERTY TAXES ARE ENFORCED AND COLLECTED.

Upon the effective date of the ordinance, the user fee may be collected in the same manner that property taxes are enforced and collected."
