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

Voluntary inspection of certain birds

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 47-19-25. (A) The commission may provide for voluntary inspection programs for families or species of birds for which inspection is not mandated by law. These birds include, but are not limited to, ostriches, emus, rheas, cassowaries, and other ratites.

(C) Readily ascertainable portions of fees must be collected in advance unless the inspector is licensed pursuant to Chapter 17 or 19 of this title.

(D) Fees collected under this section must be retained by the commission for use in carrying out the purposes of this chapter."

Time effective

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