TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
60-9-15 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE MANNER OF ALLOCATING AMOUNTS APPROPRIATED FOR 
AID TO COUNTY LIBRARIES, AND TO PROVIDE THAT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THESE FUNDS COUNTY 
LIBRARIES MUST CERTIFY TO THE STATE LIBRARY THAT THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY BOOKS OR 
MATERIALS THAT APPEAL TO THE PRURIENT INTERESTS OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 
SEVENTEEN IN CHILDREN, YOUTH, OR TEEN BOOK SECTIONS AND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WITH 
PARENTAL CONSENT, and to provide county libraries must recertify compliance 
with this provision quarterly before it may receive a disbursement of these 
funds.

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

SECTION 1. Chapter 9, Title 60 of the S.C. Code is amended by 
adding:

 Section 
60-9-15. (A) The amount appropriated 
by the General Assembly for Aid to County Libraries shall be allotted to each 
county on a per capita basis according to the most recent United States Census, 
as aid to the county library. No county shall be allocated less than one 
hundred fifty thousand dollars under this provision, subject to funding by the 
General Assembly. To receive this aid, local library support shall not be less 
than the amount actually expended for library 
operations from local sources in the second preceding year. 

 (B) Prior 
to receiving funds described in subsection (B), county libraries must certify 
to the State Library that their county libraries do not offer any books or 
materials that appeal to the prurient interest of children under the age of 
seventeen in children, youth, or teen book sections of libraries and are only 
made available with explicit parental consent. Each county library must 
recertify this information quarterly each time it is to receive such funds, and 
the State Library shall confirm receipt of this recertification before it may 
disburse funds to a library.

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