A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 3-1-150, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO ACCEPTANCE BY THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA OF RELINQUISHMENT OF LANDS BY THE UNITED STATES, SO AS TO DELETE CERTAIN LANGUAGE, INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE MAINTAIN A PERMANENT FILE OF THE NOTICES OF ACCEPTANCE AND RELINQUISHMENT, AND REQUIRE THE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD TO MAINTAIN A PERMANENT FILE OF THESE NOTICES.

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

SECTION 1. Section 3-1-150 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 3-1-150. Whenever a duly authorized official or agent of the United States, acting pursuant to authority conferred by the Congress, notifies the Budget and Control Board or any other state official, department, or agency, that the United States desires or is willing to relinquish to the State the jurisdiction, or a portion thereof, held by the United States over the lands designated in such notice, the Budget and Control Board may, in its discretion, accept such relinquishment. Such acceptance may be made by sending a notice of acceptance to the official or agent designated by the United States to receive such notice of acceptance. The Budget and Control Board shall send a signed copy of the notice of acceptance, together with the notice of relinquishment received from the United States, to the Secretary of State, who shall maintain a permanent file of the notices.

Upon the sending of the notice of acceptance to the designated official or agent of the United States, the State shall immediately have such jurisdiction over the lands designated in the notice of relinquishment as the notice shall specify.

The provisions of this section shall apply to the relinquishment of jurisdiction acquired by the United States under the provisions of Sections 3-1-110 and 3-1-120."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
