The bill H. 3936 aims to establish the Illegal Immigration Information Reward Fund within the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). This fund is designated to provide a reward of five hundred dollars to residents who supply information leading to the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens in South Carolina. The bill outlines that SLED is authorized to create necessary rules and regulations to manage this reward program. Additionally, it mandates that the General Assembly must appropriate sufficient funds annually to support the rewards, and if funds are inadequate, SLED will maintain a priority list for residents eligible for rewards.

This legislation seeks to incentivize community involvement in illegal immigration enforcement by financially rewarding individuals who assist law enforcement. The bill emphasizes the importance of funding for the reward system and ensures that residents who provide valuable information are compensated as soon as resources allow. The act will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
