South Carolina Public Interest Foundation v. South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank
Supreme Court of South Carolina
Decided June 12, 2013No. Appellate Case No. 2012-207128; Nos. 27266PublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hearn
Edward D. Sloan and the South Carolina Public Interest Foundation1 (collectively, Sloan) instituted this suit in our original jurisdiction to determine whether the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank is constitutional. In particular, Sloan alleges Section 11-43-140 of the South Carolina Code (2011), which governs the composition of the Bank’s Board of Directors, violates both the dual office holding and the separation of powers prohibitions of the South Carolina Constitution. We find both challenges fail and that section 11-43-140 is constitutional.
