AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 12-54-460, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE SETOFF DEBT COLLECTION ACT WHICH AUTHORIZES A CLAIMANT AGENCY TO REQUEST THAT A DELINQUENT DEBT BE SET OFF BY THE TAX COMMISSION AGAINST ANY INCOME TAX REFUND DUE THE DEBTOR, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT REGULAR MAIL AS WELL AS CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL MAY BE USED TO PROVIDE THE DEBTOR WITH CERTAIN NOTICES REQUIRED BY THE ACT.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Regular mail for notices authorized
SECTION 1. Section 12-54-460(A) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 168 of 1991, is further amended to read:
"(A) A claimant agency seeking to attempt collection of a delinquent debt through setoff shall notify the commission in writing and supply information the commission determines necessary to identify the debtor whose refund is sought to be set off. A request for setoff may be made only after the claimant agency has notified the debtor of its intention to cause the debtor's refund to be set off. This notice must be given in person, left at the dwelling or usual place of business of the debtor, or sent by certified, registered, or regular mail to the debtor's last known address no less than thirty days before the claimant agency's request to the commission. The notice must include a statement which sets forth administrative appeal procedures available to the debtor and alternatives available to the debtor which could prevent setoff. The claimant agency promptly shall notify the debtor when the liability out of which the setoff arises is satisfied. Notification to the commission and the furnishing of identifying information must occur on or before a date specified by the commission in the year preceding the calendar year during which the refund would be paid. Additionally, subject to the notification deadline specified above, the notification is effective only to initiate setoff for claims against refunds that would be made in the calendar year subsequent to the year in which notification is made to the commission."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
