A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 113570, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO WHEN A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS SUBJECT TO THE CONSOLIDATED PROCUREMENT CODE, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT IF A SCHOOL DISTRICT WHOSE BUDGET OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES, INCLUDING DEBT SERVICE, EXCEEDS SEVENTYFIVE MILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE OF A ONETIME CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSOLIDATED PROCUREMENT CODE.

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

SECTION1.Section 113570 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 153 of 1997, is further amended to read:

“Section 113570.(A)Irrespective of the source of funds, any school district whose budget of total expenditures, including debt service, exceeds seventyfive million dollars annually is subject to the provisions of Chapter 35 of Title 11, and shall notify the Director of the Office of General Services of the Budget and Control Board of its expenditures within ninety days after the close of its fiscal year. However, if a district has its own procurement code which is, in the written opinion of the Office of General Services of the State Budget and Control Board, substantially similar to the provisions of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code, the district is exempt from the provisions of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code except for a procurement audit which must be performed every three years by an audit firm approved by the Office of General Services. Costs associated with the internal review and audits are the responsibility of the school district and will be paid to the entity performing the audit.

(B)If a school district whose budget of total expenditures, including debt service, exceeds seventyfive million dollars because of a onetime construction project, the school district is exempt from the provisions of subsection (A).”

SECTION2.This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
