S.C. Code § 11-37-270

Current through 2024 Act No. 225.
Section 11-37-270 - Legislative declaration of intent
(A) Act 682 of 1988 created the South Carolina Resources Authority which proposes to issue its revenue bonds in accordance with the act for the purpose of refunding outstanding bonds of local governmental units held by the Farmers Home Administration. It is desirable that the authority issue its bonds within the next ninety days so that the proceeds may be used to enable local governmental units to pay off outstanding loans to the Farmers Home Administration at a substantial discount which will not be available after May 9, 1989.
(B) Act 682 of 1988 contains features authorizing the issuing of bonds for the benefit of private eleemosynary companies; permitting bond proceeds to be used to acquire local obligations payable from property taxes; permitting the imposition of local property taxes by the Comptroller General for the repayment of local obligations and providing for the payment of local obligations and authority bonds from state appropriations. It is anticipated that these features will be presented to the court for a confirmation of their constitutionality. In the meantime, the authority shall proceed in order to meet the deadline established by the Farmers Home Administration to issue, pursuant to Act 682 of 1988, bonds which can be issued independent of the features described above. The General Assembly declares that the remaining portion of Act 682 of 1988 is capable of being executed in accordance with the legislative intent, wholly independent of those features described above, or any of them.
