TO AMEND SECTION 12-27-400, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ALLOCATION AND USE OF "C" FUNDS, SO AS TO AUTHORIZE MEMBERS OF A COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE MILEAGE AT THE STATE RATE FROM THE COUNTY'S "C" FUND ALLOCATION.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 12-27-400(B) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Section 17, Part II, Act 497 of 1994, is further amended to read:
"(B) The funds expended must be approved by and used in furtherance of a countywide transportation plan adopted by a county transportation committee. The county transportation committee must be appointed by the county legislative delegation and must be made up of fair representation from municipalities and unincorporated areas of the county. County transportation committees may join in approving a regional transportation plan, and the funds must be used in furtherance of the regional transportation plan. This subsection does not prohibit the county legislative delegation from making project recommendations to the county transportation committee. A county transportation committee may expend from the funds allocated under this section an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars for reasonable administrative expenses directly related to the activities of the committee. Administrative expenses may include costs associated with copying, mailings, public notices, correspondence, and recordkeeping but do not include the payment of per diem or salaries for members of the committee. Members may also be reimbursed mileage expenses at the rate provided by law for members of state boards, committees, and commissions. These reimbursements must be paid from the funds allocated to the county under this section and are subject to the overall one thousand dollar limit on administration expenses."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
