TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 12-6-5099 SO AS TO ALLOW A TAXPAYER WHO WISHES TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE HOLLINGS CANCER CENTER OF THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO DO SO BY DESIGNATING A CONTRIBUTION IN INCREMENTS OF ONE DOLLAR TO BE PAID WITH THE TAXPAYER'S INCOME TAX RETURN IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY THIS SECTION AND TO PROVIDE THAT FUNDS DERIVED FROM THESE CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE TRANSFERRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE TO THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE CREDIT OF THE HOLLINGS CANCER CENTER.

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

SECTION    1.    Article 37, Chapter 6, Title 12 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 12-6-5099.    (A)    An individual taxpayer who wishes to make a contribution toward the Hollings Cancer Center of the Medical University of South Carolina may do so by designating for that purpose a contribution in increments of one dollar to be paid with the taxpayer's income tax return in the manner provided by this section. The contribution may be made by reducing the taxpayer's income tax refund or by remitting an additional payment, or both.

(B)    All South Carolina individual income tax return forms must contain a designation for the above contribution. The instructions accompanying the income tax form must contain a description of the purposes for which the funds were established and the use of monies from the income tax contribution. The Department of Revenue shall transfer the amounts received for this purpose to the Medical University of South Carolina for the sole use of the Hollings Cancer Center. These funds must not be considered part of the general fund of the State and these funds are deemed appropriated to the Medical University of South Carolina for the sole use of the Hollings Cancer Center.

(C)    The Department of Revenue shall implement the provisions of this section. For purposes of this section, the South Carolina Department of Revenue is not subject to provisions of the South Carolina Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act as contained in Chapter 56, Title 33."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and first applies for income tax returns filed for taxable year 2004.
