A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 12-10-85(B) OF THE 1976 CODE, RELATING TO RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND GRANTS, TO PROVIDE THAT GRANTS MAY ALSO BE AWARDED TO COUNTIES WITH A POPULATION OF LESS THAN FORTY THOUSAND RESIDENTS AND MUNICIPALITIES LOCATED IN COUNTIES WITH A POPULATION OF LESS THAN FORTY THOUSAND RESIDENTS.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 12-10-85(B) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(B)    Rural Infrastructure Fund grants must be available to benefit counties or municipalities designated as 'Tier IV' or 'Tier III' as defined in Section 12-6-3360 according to guidelines established by the council,; counties with a population of less than forty thousand residents, according to the latest official United States Census; and municipalities located in a county with less than forty thousand residents, according to the latest official United States Census, except that up to twenty-five percent of the funds annually available in excess of ten million dollars must be set aside for grants to areas of 'Tier II' and 'Tier I' counties. A governing body of a 'Tier II' or 'Tier I' county must apply to the council for these set-aside grants stating the reasons that certain areas of the county qualify for these grants because the conditions in that area of the county are comparable to those conditions qualifying a county as 'Tier IV' or 'Tier III'."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

----XX----
