Bill > H5251

This bill, known as the "Charity Protection Act," amends South Carolina law to prevent state agencies and officials from imposing annual filing or reporting requirements on charities that are more demanding than those already established in Chapter 56 of Title 33 of the South Carolina Code. This means that while charities must still comply with existing state reporting rules, state entities cannot create additional, more burdensome reporting obligations unless specifically mandated by federal law. However, this protection does not apply to situations involving state grants and contracts, fraud investigations, or enforcement actions against a charitable organization, and its provisions will override any conflicting statutes or regulations.
