A bill
TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION
23-3-82 SO AS TO CREATE THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INFORMATION REWARD FUND TO BE
USED EXCLUSIVELY TO PROVIDE A FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR REWARD TO EACH RESIDENT OF
THIS STATE THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION TO SLED'S ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
UNIT THAT LEADS TO THE APPREHENSION AND DEPORTATION OF AN ILLEGAL ALIEN IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1.  Article 1, Chapter 3, Title 23 of the S.C. Code is
amended by adding:
    Section
23-3-82. (A) There is created the
Illegal Immigration Information Reward Fund within the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Division (SLED). The fund is to be used exclusively to provide a five-hundred-dollar
reward to each resident of this State that provides information to SLED's
Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit that leads to the apprehension and
deportation of an illegal alien in South Carolina. SLED may adopt rules and
promulgate regulations necessary to administer the reward program set forth in
this section.
    (B)
Each year, the General Assembly shall appropriate to the fund an amount
necessary to pay the rewards allowed by this section. If sufficient funds are
not appropriated to properly reward each resident meeting the requirements of
this section, then SLED must place the informing individual on a priority list
so that the resident receives the reward as soon as funds are available.
SECTION 2.  This act takes effect upon approval
by the Governor.
