Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Adding Section 34-3-120 So As To Require Financial Institutions To Verify That Individuals Are Citizens Of The United States Before Wiring Or Remitting Funds To Foreign Countries, And To Either Require A Fee Or Prohibit The Transfer If The Individual Is Not A United States Citizen.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to add a new section to South Carolina law requiring financial institutions, such as banks, to verify the U.S. citizenship of individuals before sending money to foreign countries. If an individual is found not to be a U.S. citizen, the financial institution must either refuse to send the money or charge a $1,000 fee, which would then be sent to the state's general fund. This measure aims to regulate international money transfers by imposing citizenship verification requirements on financial institutions.
