AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 33-55-120, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, SOLICITATION OF CHARITABLE FUNDS, REGISTRATION OF PROFESSIONAL FUND-RAISING COUNSEL AND PROFESSIONAL SOLICITORS, REGISTRATION FEE, AND BONDS, SO AS TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF THE BOND FROM FIVE THOUSAND TO EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND PROVIDE THAT A DEPOSIT OF CASH IN THE AMOUNT OF EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS MAY BE ACCEPTED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN LIEU OF THE BOND.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Bond increased; cash deposit authorized
SECTION 1. The second paragraph of Section 33-55-120 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"The applicant, at the time of making application, shall file with and have approved by the Secretary of State a bond in which the applicant is the principal obligor in the sum of eight thousand dollars with one or more sureties satisfactory to the Secretary of State, whose liability in the aggregate as such sureties will at least equal the sum and maintain the bond in effect so long as a registration is in effect; however, a deposit of cash in the amount of eight thousand dollars may be accepted in lieu of the bond. The bond shall run to the State of South Carolina for the use of the division and any person who may have a cause of action against the obligor of the bonds for any losses resulting from malfeasance, nonfeasance, or misfeasance in the conduct of solicitation activities. A partnership or corporation which is a professional fund-raising counsel or professional solicitor may file a consolidated bond on behalf of all its members, officers, and employees."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 24th day of February, 1992.
