CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING SECTION 8-15-65, RELATING TO ANNUAL SALARY 
SUPPLEMENTS FOR CERTAIN COUNTY OFFICERS, SO AS TO DELETE THE REQUIREMENT TO 
INCLUDE SALARY AND RELATED EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE SALARY SUPPLEMENT 
AMOUNT AND TO REQUIRE THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL TO ADMINISTER THE 
APPROPRIATED AMOUNTS.

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

SECTION 1. Section 8-15-65 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 Section

clerks of court;

 (2) 
probate judges;

 (3) 
sheriffs;

 (4) 
registers of deeds;

 (5) 
auditors;

 (6) 
treasurers.

 (B) 
The amounts appropriated for salary supplements pursuant to subsection (A) must include both salary and related employer contributions and are 
in addition to amounts provided as compensation for these officials by 
counties. To the extent that compensation for these officers is reduced by a 
county or there is any other reduction of expenditures in the operations of 
their offices, 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) 
Except as provided in subsection (B), the salary supplement must be uniform 
with respect to a particular county officer but may vary between the different 
category of officers.

 (D) Amounts appropriated for the officers listed in subsection 
(A)(1), (2), (3), and (4) must be paid to county treasurers in a lump sum at 
the beginning of the fiscal year and paid to these officers over a twelve-month 
period in the same manner that salaries are paid county employees. Amounts 
appropriated pursuant to this section for the officers listed in subsection (A)(5) and (6) must be administered by the Office of the 
Comptroller General and paid in accordance with the schedule and method of 
payment provided for state employees.

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