SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

S.C. Code Section 1-23-120 directs that staff of State agencies review their regulations every five years and update them if necessary. R.61-3, The Practice of Selling and Fitting Hearing Aids, was last amended January 22, 1988. Since then there have been certain guidelines, directives, interpretations, policies, and changes in applicable laws, and other considerations that have evolved from DHEC inspections/provider input through the years. This amendment updates the regulation and includes a title change from The Practice of Selling and Fitting Hearing Aids, to The Practice of Specializing in Hearing Aids.
