A JOINT RESOLUTION

TO DIRECT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF THE OLD PRINCE WASHINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BOAT TO GEORGETOWN COUNTY.

Whereas, for approximately fifty years the State of South Carolina has used a public school boat known as the Prince Washington, now known as the Old Prince Washington, to transport students who live on Sandy Island in Georgetown County to public schools located on the mainland; and

Whereas, recently the Old Prince Washington was replaced with a new boat known as the New Prince Washington. Because the Old Prince Washington is aged but has unique historic and sentimental values to the people of Georgetown County, it is appropriate for ownership of the Old Prince Washington be transferred from the State Department of Education to Georgetown County for the benefit of the community. Now, therefore,

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

SECTION    1.    Notwithstanding another provision of law, the State Department of Education is directed to transfer ownership of the Old Prince Washington public school boat to Georgetown County.

SECTION    2.    This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

----XX----
