S. Printed 3/3/99--S.

Read the first time January 12, 1999.

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 17-5-45 SO AS TO REQUIRE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ANNUALLY TO APPROPRIATE A STATE SALARY SUPPLEMENT FOR CORONERS, TO PROVIDE THE AMOUNT OF THE SUPPLEMENT AND THE METHOD OF ITS PAYMENT, AND TO PROVIDE THAT REDUCTIONS IN THE CORONER'S SALARY OR OFFICE BUDGET BY A COUNTY SHALL CAUSE A CORRESPONDING REDUCTION IN THE DISTRIBUTION DUE THE COUNTY UNDER THE STATE AID TO SUBDIVISIONS ACT.

Amend Title To Conform

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

SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 17-5-45. (A) The General Assembly annually shall appropriate salary supplements for coroners. The supplement is one thousand five hundred seventy-five dollars for each coroner or ten percent of the coroner's salary, whichever is less.

(B) In addition to the salary supplements provided for in subsection (A), the amount appropriated by the State must include related employers' contributions based on the salary supplements. These salary supplements and related employers' contributions paid by the State are in addition to amounts provided by the counties as compensation and related employers' contributions for the coroners. To the extent that compensation for the coroner is reduced by a county, a corresponding reduction must be made in the distribution otherwise due the county pursuant to Chapter 27 of Title 6, the State Aid to Subdivisions Act.

(C) Amounts appropriated pursuant to this section must be paid to county treasurers in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year and paid to the coroners over a twelve-month period in the same manner that salaries are paid county employees."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1999.
