SCDES produces this Regulation Development Update within one business day of publication of the South Carolina State Register (the fourth Friday of each month).

The Update reports SCDES's regulation development activity, including proposed new regulations, amendments, and repeals of existing regulations, currently pending.  Each entry presents a summary, status, and (upon assignment by the S.C. Legislative Council) a searchable S.C. State Register Document Number.  Legislative Council assigns a Document Number at the Notice of Proposed Regulation stage of the regulation promulgation process.  The Document Number remains with the regulation development activity throughout the process.

Links to non-SCDES organizations found on this site are provided solely as a service to our users.  SCDES is not responsible for its content.

While SCDES has made every effort to maintain the accuracy of the content presented in this Regulation Development Update, it reserves the right to correct errors when discovered.
