SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

South Carolina Code Ann. Section 1-23-120.J directs that staffs of state agencies review their regulations every five years and update them if necessary. Regulation 61-17 was last amended June 27, 2008, but did not include an increase in licensing fees. The last amendment of this regulation to increase licensing fees was February 28, 1992. Since 1992, there have been increases in costs that have necessitated amendment of this regulation in order to make fees more up-to-date and commensurate with current expenditure needed to enforce the regulations.
