S.C. Code Ann. § 44-20-320: Acceptance of gifts, etc. by department; policies and regulations.

The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities or any of its programs may accept gifts, bequests, devises, grants, and donations of money, real property, and personal property for use in expanding and improving services to persons with intellectual disability, related disabilities, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries available to the people of this State. However, nothing may be accepted by the department with the understanding that it diminishes an obligation for paying care and maintenance charges or other monies due the Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for services rendered. The department may formulate policies and promulgate regulations governing the disposition of gifts, bequests, devises, grants, and donations. If they are given to a specific service program of the office they must remain and be used for that program only or to its successor program.
