Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Commission on Higher Education, relating to Licensing Nonpublic Postsecondary Institutions, designated as Regulation Document Number 1853, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.

SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
The proposed amendment to 62-7 will allow institutions to provide a bond equal to the projected income, but not less than $5,000.
The proposed amendment to 62-8 will give the institutions a choice to provide either internally generated statements and a copy of the tax return or incur the additional expense for compiled statements.
The proposed amendment to 62-18 will allow institutions to keep an administrative fee of not more than $100, in addition to a pro-rata portion of tuition, after classes start.
The proposed amendments to 62-19 clarify that the enrollment agreement can include basic student identification information and additional information required by the institution's accrediting agency or other regulatory authorities.
The proposed amendments to 62-23:
(1) remove the requirement that the fee be rounded up to the next ten dollars,
(2) incrementally increase the late fee to deter filing of reports later than necessary, and
(3) base the fee for additional program(s) or site(s) on projected additional gross tuition income.
The proposed amendment to 62-26 would require that all advertisements include the location of the institution.
