South Carolina state Sen. Stephen Goldfinch has proposed a bill, dubbed the “Yankee Tax,” that would require new residents to pay up to $500 to move to the Palmetto State.
If passed by state referendum, new residents moving from out-of-state to South Carolina would be required to pay two one-time fees: $250 for new driver’s licenses and $250 for vehicle registrations.
Goldfinch told Fox News Digital that the proposal is not trying to stop people from coming from out of state, just for new residents to “catch up with the rest of us.”
“I’m not trying to build a wall and this is not a fee against new residents, it’s a fee for people to catch up with the rest of us,” Goldfinch told Fox News Digital.
The money raised from the additional $250 tax would go toward the state’s infrastructure, including roads, bridges and common community spaces.
