Introduced Text

South Carolina H5272 mandates financial institutions to verify U.S. citizenship before transferring funds abroad, imposing a fee if the individual is.

South Carolina H5272 amends the state code to require financial institutions to verify the citizenship of individuals before wiring or remitting funds to a foreign country. If the individual is not a U.S. citizen, the financial institution must either prohibit the transfer or charge a fee of one thousand dollars, which is then remitted to the state's general fund. This act aims to ensure compliance with citizenship requirements for international fund transfers.
