The "Charity Protection Act" is a proposed bill aimed at amending the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 33-56-65. This new section prohibits state agencies or officials from imposing annual filing or reporting requirements on charitable organizations that are more burdensome than those already established in Chapter 56, Title 33. The bill includes exceptions for state grants and contracts, fraud investigations, and enforcement actions against charitable organizations, ensuring that these areas are not affected by the new limitations.

Additionally, the provisions of this section are designed to supersede any existing statutes or regulations that may conflict with its terms. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor, reinforcing the intent to streamline the regulatory process for charities operating within the state.
