Bill Summary

Amend Sections 1 And 2 Of Article X, Of The Constitution Of South Carolina, 1895, Both Relating To Property Tax, So As To Provide That The General Assembly May Determine By Law The Classifications And Assessment Ratios Of Such Property.

AI Summary

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the South Carolina General Assembly to determine by law the classifications and assessment ratios for property taxes. Currently, the State Constitution outlines specific assessment ratios for different types of property, such as manufacturers, utilities, transportation companies, legal residences, agricultural land, and other real and personal property. This amendment would grant the General Assembly the authority to change these classifications and the percentage of fair market value used for taxation (assessment ratios) for various property types, potentially allowing for more flexibility in tax policy. The proposed changes would be submitted to voters for approval in a general election.
