Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 39-25-180(H) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 39-25-180.    (H)    Good manufacturing practice regulations and their amendments now or hereafter adopted pursuant to the authority of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act are the good manufacturing regulations of this State. However, the commissioner may adopt a regulation that prescribes conditions under which good manufacturing processes may be used in this State whether or not in accordance with regulations promulgated pursuant to the federal act.

(1)    The commissioner shall exclude qualified exempt human food facilities, as defined in the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and its implementing regulations, from the requirements of subparts C and G of Title 21, Part 117 of the Code of Federal Regulations; such qualified exempt human food facilities will continue to be subject to all other applicable good manufacturing practice regulations enforced pursuant to this section.

(2)    The commissioner shall exclude qualified exempt animal feed facilities, as defined in the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and its implementing regulations, from the requirements of subparts C and E of Title 21, Part 500 of the Code of Federal Regulations; such qualified exempt animal feed facilities will be subject to all other applicable good manufacturing practice regulations enforced pursuant to this section.

(3)    In the event that a human food or animal feed facility loses its qualified exempt facility status under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the commissioner shall enforce all applicable good manufacturing practice regulations to that facility."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
