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

SECTION    1.    (A)    The South Carolina State Ports Authority is directed to sell its parcel of land consisting of thirteen hundred plus acres located on the southern and western portions of Daniel Island in Berkeley County at the highest price and upon the most favorable financial terms it can obtain and apply the proceeds to the construction and improvement of its new terminal facilities located at the former Charleston Naval Base in Charleston County.

Upon the conclusion of this dredging activity, the retained parcel must be sold in the manner provided by this section with the proceeds to be applied to general terminal operations of the State Ports Authority at the former Charleston Naval Base.

SECTION    2.    This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
