A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 59-53-427 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE GOVERNING COMMISSION OF TRIDENT TECHNICAL COLLEGE MAY ESTABLISH A FOUR-YEAR CULINARY CURRICULUM PROGRAM AND AWARD BACCALAUREATE DEGREES IN CULINARY ARTS FOR STUDENTS GRADUATING FROM THIS PROGRAM.

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

SECTION    1.    Article 5, Chapter 53, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 59-53-427.    (A)    Notwithstanding another provision of law, the governing commission of Trident Technical College may establish a four-year culinary curriculum program and award baccalaureate degrees in culinary arts for students graduating from this program. This program must be established pursuant to guidelines established by the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education in conjunction with the Commission on Higher Education. However, prior approval of either the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education or the Commission on Higher Education to establish this program is not required.

(B)    In Fiscal Year 2005-2006 funding for this program must be provided by the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education from existing appropriations for instructional programs or from other sources as determined by the state board, only if any funds are available.

(C)    Beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and thereafter, formula funding for this program must be provided by the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education from appropriations to be determined by the General Assembly in a manner consistent with funding for other similar third and fourth years of baccalaureate degrees."

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