S.C. Code § 42-7-220
There is established, within the office of the State Accident Fund, the South Carolina First Responder Line of Duty Death Benefit Fund. This fund is separate and distinct from the general fund of the State and all other funds. Earnings and interest on this fund must be credited to it and any balance in this fund at the end of the fiscal year carries forward in the fund in the succeeding fiscal year. This fund is created to ensure payment of line of duty death benefits to first responders as defined in Section 42-7-90 and only may be used for that purpose. The fund must be administered by the Director of the State Accident Fund who shall establish procedures to implement this section. Upon request from the Director of the State Accident Fund, the State Treasurer shall transfer from general funds of the State into the separate fund such sufficient amounts to pay claims that are owing and due pursuant to this section. The State Accident Fund, in coordination with the Office of State Treasurer, shall provide a report on an annual basis on the claims from the fund to the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee.
