TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, RELATING TO STANDARDS FOR LICENSING AMBULATORY SURGICAL FACILITIES, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2784, 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 Health and Environmental Control, relating to Standards for Licensing Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, designated as Regulation Document Number 2784, 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.
South Carolina Code Section 1-23-120 directs that staff of state agencies review their regulations every five years and update them if necessary. R.61-91 was last amended June 24, 1983. Since that time there have been certain exceptions, guidelines, directives, interpretations, policies, and changes in applicable law, changes in building standards, and other considerations that have evolved from DHEC inspections and provider input through the years. This amendment will bring the regulation current and will replace R.61-91 in entirety. The revision includes a change in licensing fees.
