S.C. Code Ann. § 12-6-5085
Designation on individual income tax forms enabling taxpayers to contribute to the South Carolina Litter Control Enforcement Program (SCLCEP)
(A) Each taxpayer required to file a state individual income tax return may contribute to the South Carolina Litter Control Enforcement Program (SCLCEP) by designating the contribution on the return. The contribution may be made by reducing the income tax refund or by remitting additional payment by the amount designated. These contributions must be credited to a separate fund in the State Treasury styled the South Carolina Litter Control Enforcement Program Fund and used by the Governor's Task Force on Litter only for the SCLCEP program. Revenues in the fund carry forward into succeeding fiscal years and earnings of the fund must be credited to it.
(B) All South Carolina individual income tax return forms must contain a designation for the above contribution. The instructions accompanying the income tax form must contain a description of the purposes for which the SCLCEP Fund is established and the use of the monies from the contributions.
(C) The department shall determine and report annually to the fund the total amount of contributions designated. The department shall transfer the appropriate amount to the fund at the earliest possible time. The incremental cost of administration of the contribution must be paid out of the contributions before any fund revenues are expended as provided in this section.
(D) For purposes of this section, the South Carolina Department of Revenue is not subject to provisions of the South Carolina Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act as contained in Chapter 56, Title 33.
