Can I collect financial information from participants in South Carolina? What are the requirements?

Requirements for Collecting Financial Information from Participants in South Carolina

To collect financial information from participants in South Carolina, you must comply with the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act [1]. This act requires public bodies to disclose public records upon request, subject to certain exemptions.

However, it is important to note that the act does not require public bodies to create an electronic version of a public record when one does not exist to fulfill a records request [1].

Additionally, the public body may establish and collect reasonable fees not to exceed the actual cost of the search, retrieval, and redaction of records [1]. Therefore, if you are requesting financial information from a public body in South Carolina, you may be required to pay a fee to cover the cost of retrieving and redacting the records.

If you are collecting financial information from participants for a political campaign in North Carolina, you may need to comply with the financial requirements set forth by the North Carolina State Board of Elections [2].
