TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, RELATING TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACADEMY, LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2186, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.

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

SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Public Safety, relating to Criminal Justice Academy, law enforcement training, designated as Regulation Document Number 2186, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.

SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

State government restructuring of 1993, South Carolina Code Ann. Sections 23-6-20 and 23-6-400, et seq., transferred the responsibility for training law enforcement officers from the Law Enforcement Training Council to the Department of Public Safety by creating a Division of Training and Continuing Education within the department. Section 23-6-30 of the 1976 Code requires the Department of Public Safety to formulate regulations to administer the duties and responsibilities transferred to it by restructuring. Section 23-6-20 of the 1976 Code provides that the rules, regulations, standards, orders, or other actions of the entities transferred to the Department of Public Safety shall remain in effect unless specifically changed or voided by the department in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act.

To satisfy the requirements of Section 23-6-30, the department is repealing existing law enforcement training council regulations and recodify them with a new numbering scheme, substituting Criminal Justice Academy Division of the Department of Public Safety where Law Enforcement Training Council appears, and making other technical and grammatical changes consistent with these changes.
