TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 12-6-3810 SO AS TO ALLOW A TEACHER WHO PURCHASES SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS TO CLAIM AN INCOME TAX CREDIT UP TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

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

The department may require whatever proof it considers necessary to implement the credit provided by this section. A teacher receiving a reimbursement for school supplies or materials pursuant to the annual general appropriations act shall reduce the allowable amount of his credit by the amount of the reimbursement if the expenditure was made during the applicable fiscal year."
