 Senator SENN proposes the following amendment (5100R024.JG.SS.DOCX):

 Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 113, AID TO SUBDIVISIONS- STATE TREASURER, page 511, after line 35, by adding an appropriately numbered new proviso to read:

/113. (AS-TREAS: Short-term Rentals Prohibition) A political subdivision that receives money pursuant to this act may not expend any funds, regardless of the source of funds, to enact or enforce an ordinance that prohibits or restricts short term rentals based on their classification, use, frequency, or duration at properties assessed at the 6% rate. If a political subdivision violates this provision or enacts any such ordinance, it must remit to the General Fund fifty percent of the local government funds appropriated by this act. For purposes of this provision, "short-term rental" means any individually or collectively owned residential house or dwelling unit or group of units that is rented wholly or partially for residential use for any period less than thirty days. The provisions of this proviso only apply to municipalities with a population between 1,800 and 4,400 people per the most recent U.S. Census Bureau population estimates as of July 1, 2024, which are located within counties having accommodations tax revenue above $18 million, but less than $20 million per most recent S.C. Department of Revenue reporting as of July 1, 2024. /
