S.C. Code § 44-7-2125
Any municipality or county, any public hospital corporation, or any other public agency, authority, or body are authorized to transfer, convey to any district, with or without consideration any health care facilities or other properties, real or personal, and all funds and assets tangible or intangible, including ownership or operation of any health care facilities or properties and including funds presently held or to be held as a result of future appropriations, together with all liabilities relating to assets including hospital bonded indebtedness.
The transfer or conveyance must be authorized by an ordinance or resolution duly adopted by the governing body of the municipality or county or by the board of directors or other governing body of the public hospital corporation, or other public agency, authority, or body, as the case may be, and it is not necessary, any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding, to obtain any certificate of need, assurance of need, or other similar permit for any transfer or conveyance. This exemption applies solely to the initial transfers following a reorganization and does in no event waive the requirement of a certificate of need after the initial transfers. In the event of the transfer of any health care facilities to the district, any hospital tax proceeds, other tax proceeds and other revenues apportioned or allocated to or for the benefit of the prior owner or operator of the health care facilities, or for the patient care at the health care facility must thereafter be paid to the district so long as the tax is levied or revenue is raised. Following the transfer, assets will not be revalued to alter public health care program reimbursement.
