Bill > H4699

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new requirement for candidates seeking public office: they must now submit proof of current compliance with all state and federal income tax filing requirements simultaneously with their Statement of Economic Interests (filed under Section 8-13-1356). The bill effectively creates a new transparency measure that ensures candidates demonstrate they are up to date on their tax obligations before running for office. By mandating this additional documentation at the time of filing their economic interests statement, the legislation aims to provide voters with more information about a candidate's financial responsibility. The new provision will take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval, meaning candidates in upcoming elections will need to be prepared to provide their tax compliance documentation along with their standard economic interests disclosure.
