AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 2-13-60, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE DUTIES OF THE CODE COMMISSIONER, SO AS TO FURTHER PROVIDE FOR THE ANNOTATION OF DECISIONS OF CERTAIN COURTS AND REQUIRE THE CODE COMMISSIONER TO ANNOTATE IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS ALL UNPUBLISHED FEDERAL OPINIONS DECIDED IN THE DISTRICT WHICH HAVE BEEN SENT TO HIM BY THE CHIEF FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE IF THESE OPINIONS AFFECT THE INTERPRETATION OR INVALIDATIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATUTES.

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

Duties of Code Commissioner

"Section 2-13-60. The Code Commissioner must:

(1) compile the public statutes of the State;

(2) prepare indices and cross-indices to the codification of public statutes, and publish these indices in the appropriate code volumes;

(3) note by annotation decisions of the State Supreme Court, the State Court of Appeals, and the federal District Court for the District of South Carolina and decisions relevant to the State from the federal Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court under the appropriate sections of the codified statutes, the State Constitution of 1895, the United States Constitution, and the state rules of court;

(4) note by annotation all unpublished opinions sent to the Code Commissioner by a federal District Judge of the South Carolina District which, in the Code Commissioner's opinion, affect or invalidate a South Carolina statute, act, or resolution;

(5) annually prepare for publication, to be printed by the Office of Legislative Printing and Information Technology Resources (LPITR), the statutes and joint resolutions passed at the preceding session;

(6) place analysis lines at the beginning of each section in every act and joint resolution, except state appropriation measures;

(7) make references, by act number and year in which the act is published, to each act and joint resolution of a previous session when amended or repealed;

(8) divide the acts and joint resolutions into general permanent laws and local or temporary laws, with indices and cross-indices;

(9) arrange all local enactments according to counties in alphabetical order;

(10) regularly review and examine all the general statutory laws of the State;

(11) correct typographical and clerical errors;

(12) change or substitute names, titles, and other designations to make them conform to new laws enacted by the General Assembly or new rules, regulations, or orders having the force and effect of law."
