A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 59-150-375 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN VISUAL OR HEARING IMPAIRED STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE STATE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS TO ATTEND CERTAIN OUT-OF-STATE INSTITUTIONS.

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

SECTION    1.    Chapter 15, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 59-150-375.    A visual or hearing impaired student who qualifies for state scholarship funds pursuant to Chapter 149 of Title 59, Section 59-104-20, Section 59-150-360, or Section 59-150-370 may receive state scholarship funds to attend an out-of-state institution that specializes in educating visual or hearing impaired students if the Commission on Higher Education recommends that the out-of-state institution will benefit the student more than an in-state institution."
