Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 12-36-910(B)(1) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 361 of 1992, is further amended to read:
"(1) gross proceeds accruing or proceeding from the business of providing or furnishing any laundering, dry-cleaning, dyeing, or pressing service, but does not apply to the gross proceeds derived from coin-operated laundromats and dry-cleaning machines; provided, that beginning June 30, 1997, the sales tax shall not apply to these services in the manner provided in Section 12-36-2120;"
SECTION 2. Section 12-36-2120 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding an appropriately numbered item to read:
"( ) laundry, dry-cleaning, dyeing, and pressing services according to the following schedule:
(a) two percent of the gross proceeds of such sales are exempt beginning June 30, 1997;
(b) four percent of the gross proceeds of such sales are exempt beginning June 30, 1998; and
(c) five percent of the gross proceeds of such sales beginning June 30, 1999.
The term `laundry, dry-cleaning, dyeing, and pressing services' as used in this item does not include coin-operated laundromats and dry-cleaning machines which are exempt from the sales tax as provided in Section 12-36-910 and shall continue to be so exempt after the effective date of this item."
SECTION 3. Section 12-36-2120(24) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 506 of 1994, is further amended to read:
"(24) supplies and machinery used by laundries, cleaning, dyeing, or pressing, or establishments and supplies and machinery used by garment or other textile rental establishments in the direct performance of their primary function, but not sales of supplies and machinery used by coin-operated laundromats;"
SECTION 4. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor, except that Section 3 takes effect on July 1, 1998.
