AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 125475 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR ELECTRONIC COLLECTION OF REVENUES BY A STATE AGENCY PURSUANT TO A CONTRACT NEGOTIATED AND ENTERED INTO BY THE STATE TREASURER ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY; AND TO AMEND SECTION 1237220, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO EXEMPTIONS FROM PROPERTY TAXES, SO AS TO INCLUDE CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY HELD BY CHARITABLE TRUSTS AND FOUNDATIONS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION OF FORTS AND BATTLEGROUNDS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Electronic collection of revenues
SECTION1.The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
“Section 125475.(A)The State Treasurer may authorize a state agency which collects revenues, either as taxes or license fees or as payment for goods or services, to accept electronic forms of payment including, but not limited to, credit cards, debit cards, bank debits or credits, or electronic purse options. These electronic payments may be accepted in the course of an electronic commerce transaction, in which the business transaction is conducted by means of the internet, interactive voice response, or other fully electronic means.
(B)The State Treasurer may contract on behalf of the agencies with payment service providers for the processing of electronic payments, and may negotiate associated processing fees. The agency collecting revenues electronically may withhold the negotiated processing fees for payment to service providers from the revenues collected.”
General exemption from taxes
SECTION2.Section 1237220(B) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 149 of 1997, is further amended by adding:
“(42)All real property of charitable trusts and foundations held for historic preservation of forts and battlegrounds which extends beyond the buildings and premises actually occupied by the charitable trusts and foundations which own the real property if no profit or benefit from any operation on the charitable trusts’ and foundations’ real property inures to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual and no income producing ventures are located on the charitable trusts’ and foundations’ real property. This exemption does not change any exemption provided for charitable trusts and foundations in item (4) of subsection (A) of this section and item (d), Section 3, Article X of the Constitution of this State but is an additional exemption for charitable trusts and foundations for historic preservation as provided in this item.”
Time effective
SECTION3.This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Ratified the 24th day of June, 1999.
Approved the 30th day of June, 1999.
