SECTION 2. The General Assembly finds, that as a top priority of the current fiscal year, consumer protection is to continue to be provided for those citizens whose personal financial information was compromised as a result of the Department of Revenue Security Breach of 2012. In accordance with that finding, the funds appropriated to the Budget and Control Board for Statewide Cyber Security and Consumer Protection shall first be used to provide, at a minimum, one additional year of consumer protection to those citizens who were enrolled in "ProtectMyID" as of March 31, 2013. Any funds remaining shall be utilized by the board to implement state agency cyber security improvements as recommended in solutions for plans on cyber security improvements.
SECTION 3. The $250,000 appropriated in SECTION 1 to J20-Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services for McCord Center Fire Safety-Alcohol and Drug Abuse are for the McCord Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Facility operated by the Tri-County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and is for the installation of fire safety and suppression equipment only.
SECTION 4. From the $2,000,000 appropriated above for the Spartanburg Amusement Train Disaster Relief Fund, there is created in the State Treasury the Spartanburg County Amusement Train Disaster Relief Fund. The purpose of the fund is to compensate victims of the amusement train derailment in Cleveland Park in Spartanburg County on March 19, 2011, for medical costs not covered by insurance or other means which exceed the individual victim's share of the maximum amount recoverable from a governmental entity for a single occurrence pursuant to Section 15-78-120 of the Tort Claims Act.
The Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee shall jointly appoint an administrator for the fund. The administrator shall serve without compensation and until all claims to the fund have been processed. The administrator shall establish a sixty day period to receive claims to the fund. For two weeks prior to the opening of the claims period, the administrator must publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in Spartanburg County the procedure by which claims may be submitted. The State Office of Victim Assistance shall provide administrative and logistical assistance to the administrator. The administrator may use up to $50,000 from the fund to defray the costs associated with managing the fund and to reimburse the State Office of Victim Assistance for any costs associated with providing support.
At the close of the claims period, the administrator shall pay to each claimant the actual amount of their verifiable medical expenses if the aggregate amount of claims to the fund does not exceed the amount available in the fund. If the aggregate amount of claims exceeds the amount in the fund, the administrator shall pay each claimant a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage of the uncompensated medical expenses incurred by the claimant in relation to the total amount of uncompensated medical expenses incurred by all claimants to the fund. Funds may only be used to pay victims directly for uncompensated medical expenses and must not be used to pay subrogation claims or attorneys fees.
SECTION 5. The Comptroller General shall post the appropriations contained in this joint resolution as provided in Section 11-11-320(D) of the 1976 Code. Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this joint resolution may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purposes.
SECTION 6. This joint resolution takes effect thirty days after the completion of the 2012-2013 fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of Section 36(B)(3)(a), Article III, Constitution of South Carolina, 1895, and Section 11-11-320(D)(1) of the 1976 Code. /
