A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 10-1-210 SO AS TO PROHIBIT EXPENDING STATE APPROPRIATED FUNDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NAMING OF A BUILDING, PART OF A BUILDING, OR PART OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM FOR A STATE OFFICER IF THE PERSON TO BE HONORED IS LIVING AND HAS OCCUPIED A STATE OFFICE WITHIN FIVE YEARS OF THE TIME OF THE NAMING AND TO PROVIDE APPLICABLE DEFINITIONS.

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

SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Title 10 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 10-1-210. No funds appropriated by the General Assembly, regardless of source, may be expended in connection with the naming of a public building owned or leased by the State or a part of the state highway system for a living person who has occupied a state office within five years of the naming.

For purposes of this section:

(1) a state officer is a member of the General Assembly, a statewide elected constitutional officer, a member of a state board, committee, or commission, and a state agency head appointed as provided in Section 1-30-10(B)(1)(i); and

(2) the time of naming is the date official action is taken directing the naming."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and applies with respect to buildings and parts of the state highway

system not yet officially named for a living person as of that date.
