Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Disposition of certain records, funds, reporting
SECTION 1. Article 1, Chapter 11, Title 60 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 60-11-102. Upon approval by the commission, the agency may remove certain record and nonrecord materials from its collections by gift to another public or nonprofit institution or by sale. This is a supplemental form of disposition beyond that recognized in the Public Records Act for the retention, copying, and destruction of public records, and it pertains only to those accessioned archive materials having a market value and which duplicate existing archival material, fall outside the scope of the archives collection policy, or have no further possible research value. All funds realized through sale must be placed in a special account to be used for improved access to and preservation of the state archives collections. The commission annually shall report to the State Department of Administration regarding these dispositions.
Section 60-11-103. The proceeds of facilities rentals, gift shop operations, training sessions, sales of publications, reproduction of documents, repair of documents, research fees, handling charges, and the proceeds of sales of National Register of Historic Places certificates and plaques by the Archives Department must be deposited in a special account in the State Treasury, and may be used by this department to cover the cost of facility operations and maintenance, gift shop inventory, additional training sessions, publications, reproduction expenses, repair expenses, and National Register of Historic Places certificates and plaques, and selected Historic Preservation Grants."
Director duties, furnishing information
SECTION 2. Section 60-11-60 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 60-11-60. The active management and administration of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History shall be committed to the director, who at the time of his appointment must have the qualifications of special training or experience in archival or historical work. The director shall not do any additional work for pay without the permission of the Commission of Archives and History. "
