The bill H. 3952 proposes an amendment to Act 571 of 1965, which governs the millage levy for the Florence-Darlington Technical College in Darlington County. The key change in this legislation is the requirement for the budget of the Florence-Darlington Technical Education Commission to be approved by the Darlington County Council instead of the County Board of Education. This shift aims to streamline the budget approval process and ensure that the county council has oversight over the financial operations of the technical college.

The amended language specifies that the Florence-Darlington Technical Education Commission must file an itemized budget with the Darlington County Council, which will then review and approve the budget before the county auditor can levy the necessary tax on taxable property in the county. This bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor and will first apply to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
