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

SECTION 1. Section 12-56-20(1) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 114 of 1999, is further amended to read:

"(1) `Claimant agency' means a state agency, board, committee, commission, public institution of higher learning, political subdivision, South Carolina Student Loan Corporation, housing authorities established pursuant to Articles 5, 7, and 9 of Chapter 3 of Title 31, and the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Department of Education. It also includes a private institution of higher learning for the purpose of collecting debts related to default on authorized educational loans made pursuant to Chapters 111, 113, or 115 of Title 59. `Political subdivision' includes the Municipal Association of South Carolina, and the South Carolina Association of Counties, and the South Carolina Association of Housing Authority Executive Directors when these organizations submit claims on behalf of their members, other political subdivisions, or other claimant agencies as defined in this item. A political subdivision who submits a claim through an association is a claimant agency for the purpose of the notice and appeal provisions and other requirements of this chapter."

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