Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 41-25-30(G) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(G) The secretary shall mail annual license renewal forms to the last known address of each licensee by November first. If license renewal forms are not received by a licensee for any cause, the licensee shall request a license renewal form from the secretary's office. Every licensee shall file a biennial license renewal in a form and manner suitable to the secretary postmarked not later than the last day of December. The renewal form must be accompanied by a renewal fee of one hundred dollars. If license renewal forms are not received by the secretary's office the first week of January, the secretary shall notify the licensee in writing that the licensee shall pay a one hundred dollar late penalty and that the licensee has thirty days from the date of notice to comply with licensing requirements. If compliance is not met within the specified time, the secretary shall may deny license renewal, return the license fee, and notify that business to cease operation and make public notification of closure of the service in the newspaper of the greatest circulation in the county in which it is located."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor but shall apply retroactively to license revocations occurring on or after January 1, 1998.
