TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING SECTION 25-11-45, RELATING TO COUNTY VETERANS' AFFAIRS OFFICES, SO AS TO REQUIRE the GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO APPROPRIATE MONIES TO PAY THE FULL SALARY AND FRINGE BENEFITS OF THE COUNTY VETERANS' AFFAIRS OFFICER.

SECTION 1.  Section 25-11-45 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 

    Section 25-11-45.  Notwithstanding Section 1-30-110(4), A county veterans' affairs office must be funded with monies appropriated by the General Assembly for that purpose and payable directly to the County Treasurer's Office by the State Treasurer. The General Assembly shall appropriate sufficient monies to pay the full salary and fringe benefits of the county veterans' affairs officer. Each county shall receive the same amount for the county veterans' affairs officer.  The salary must be comparable to the salary of a similarly situated state employee considering the skill required to effectively complete the duties of the job.

 

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