Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 40-11-250(A) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

Renewal applications not postmarked by the expiration date result in a lapsed license. An entity which fails to renew and which continues to engage in construction is practicing without a license and is subject to the penalties prescribed in this chapter.
