AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 12-31-15, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO CERTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTY AUDITORS; AND TO AMEND SECTION 12-45-15, RELATING TO CERTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTY TREASURERS, SO AS TO REVISE THESE REQUIREMENTS AND THE PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO SATISFACTORILY COMPLETE THEM.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Continuing education requirements revised
SECTION 1. Section 12-31-15 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 12-31-15. (A) County auditors annually shall complete satisfactorily a minimum of eighteen hours of continuing education courses which the Comptroller General establishes or causes to be established. Failure to complete satisfactorily these courses in any year results in the auditor forfeiting one thousand dollars of his state salary supplement for that year as this supplement is provided in the annual general appropriations act. The content, cost, and dates of the courses must be determined by the Comptroller General.
(B) The Comptroller General, for reasonable cause, may excuse a county auditor from attending these courses for any year. If excused, the auditor does not forfeit one thousand dollars of his state salary supplement for that year."

"Section 12-45-15. (A) County treasurers annually shall complete satisfactorily a minimum of eighteen hours of continuing education courses which the Comptroller General establishes or causes to be established. Failure to satisfactorily complete these courses in any year results in the treasurer forfeiting one thousand dollars of his state salary supplement for the year as this supplement is provided in the annual general appropriations act. The content, cost, and dates of the courses must be determined by the Comptroller General.
(B) The Comptroller General, for reasonable cause, may excuse a county treasurer from attending these courses for any year. If excused, the treasurer does not forfeit one thousand dollars of his state salary supplement for that year."
