A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-11-105 SO AS TO REQUIRE OUT-OF-STATE CONTRACTORS TO PAY THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA THE SAME CONTRACTOR TAXES AND FEES WHICH ARE IMPOSED BY THEIR STATES UPON SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENT CONTRACTORS WHO ENGAGE IN CONTRACTING WORK IN THOSE STATES.

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

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 40-11-105. A resident of another state who performs work as a general contractor or as a mechanical contractor, as those terms are defined in Section 40-11-10, shall, before engaging in or performing any such work in South Carolina, remit to the South Carolina State Licensing Board for Contractors amounts equaling the contractor registration, licensing, or certification fees and privilege taxes or fees which are charged by such person's state of residence to a South Carolina resident general contractor or mechanical contractor who enters such other state to perform contracting work there.

The fees and taxes required to be remitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph must be paid by the board into the State Treasury in the same manner as provided in Section 40-11-220."

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