AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 6-7-190, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO REGIONAL COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT, SO AS TO PERMIT THE COUNCILS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INSURANCE PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

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

Council of government is public agency

SECTION 1. Section 6-7-190 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 6-7-190. Each council of government established under authority of this article exists for nonprofit and public purposes and is a public agency, and the carrying out of the purpose of each council of government is exclusively for public benefit and its property is public property, and no council of government is required to pay any state or local ad valorem tax, income tax, or other taxes from which public agencies are exempt. Councils of government may participate in the State Retirement System and utilize the services of the State Purchasing Department of the Division of General Services and the insurance programs administered by the State Retirement System provided they are a covered employer under the state retirement program. The decision to participate in the insurance program is irrevocable."

Time effective

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.
