Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976 Annotated
§ 10-1-210. Pay telephone revenue.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all state agencies, institutions, colleges, and
universities must remit to the general fund all revenues received and all monies retained above
the cost of allowing the placement or location of pay telephones on public property. Each state
agency, institution, college, and university must annually report to the Office of State Budget the
revenue received for allowing the placement or location of pay telephones on public property,
including any commission received for allowing the placement or location of pay telephones on
public property. Public property means any and all property occupied or under the control of a
state agency, institution, college, or university. The State shall forego any commissions or
revenues for the provision of pay telephones in institutions of the Department of Corrections and
the Department of Juvenile Justice for use by inmates. The State Budget and Control Board shall
ensure that the telephone rates charged by vendors for the use of those telephones must be
reduced to reflect this foregone state revenue.
