§ 41-43-240. Creation of other corporations.
The authority is authorized to establish profit or not-for-profit corporations as it considers necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Officials or employees of the authority may act as officials or employees without additional compensation of a corporation created pursuant to this section. A corporation established pursuant to this section is considered a "public procurement unit" for purposes of Article 19, Chapter 35 of Title 11.
The authority may make grants or loans to, or make guarantees for, the benefit of any not-for-profit corporation which the authority has caused to be formed whose Articles of Incorporation require that its directors be elected by members of the authority and all assets of which, upon dissolution, must be distributed to the authority if it is in existence or, if it is not in existence, then to the State of South Carolina.
These grants, loans, or guarantees may be made upon a determination by the authority that the receiving not-for-profit corporation is able to carry out the purposes of this act and on the terms and conditions imposed by the authority.
Any guarantee made by the authority shall not create an obligation of the State or its political subdivisions or be a grant or loan of the credit of the State or any political subdivision. Any guarantee issued by the authority must be a special obligation of it. Neither the State nor any political subdivision is liable on any guarantee nor may they be payable out of any funds other than those of the authority and any guarantee issued by the authority shall contain on its face a statement to that effect.
