The bill H. 4099 proposes amendments to Section 8-15-65 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to annual salary supplements for certain county officers, including clerks of court, probate judges, sheriffs, registers of deeds, auditors, and treasurers. The key change involves the deletion of the requirement that the appropriated salary supplement amounts must include both salary and related employer contributions. Instead, the bill mandates that the Office of the Comptroller General will administer the appropriated amounts for these salary supplements.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the salary supplements must be uniform for each category of county officer, although they may differ between the various categories. The appropriated amounts for certain officers must be paid to county treasurers in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the payments for auditors and treasurers will be managed by the Office of the Comptroller General, following the payment schedule for state employees. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
