A bill

TO AMEND ACT 813 OF 1946, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE SPARTANBURG MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM COMMISSION SO AS TO CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION.

   Amend Title To Conform

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

SECTION 1.   The Spartanburg Auditorium Memorial Commission shall not have the authority to approve of, without first seeking the approval from the Spartanburg County Legislative Delegation, any art exhibit, production, show, or other form of entertainment that is found to contain scenes the average person, applying contemporary state community standards would find that the production, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, whether the production depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct, and whether the production, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

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