Bill Summary

A bill TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING SECTION 6-1-320, relating to millage rate limitations, SO AS TO ALLOW A MUNICIPALITY WITHOUT AN OPERATING MILLAGE ON JANUARY 1, 2024, OR A MUNICIPALITY THAT INCORPORATES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2024, TO IMPOSE AN OPERATING MILLAGE AND TO IMPOSE LIMITATIONS.

AI Summary

This bill allows municipalities without an operating millage (a type of property tax) on January 1, 2024, or municipalities that incorporate after that date, to impose an operating millage sufficient to generate one-third of the municipality's general fund expenses from the previous fiscal year. It also allows municipalities that previously imposed an operating millage but repealed it to reimpose a millage up to their last millage plus any cumulative increases that would have been allowed since 2007 or the repeal, whichever is more recent. The bill specifies that after the initial imposition, the millage will be subject to the existing limitations on increases.
