A JOINT RESOLUTION

TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, RELATING TO STATE TRANSPORT POLICE, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2185, 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 state transport police, designated as Regulation Document Number 2185, 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.

----XXX----

SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

State government restructuring of 1993, 1976 Code Section 23-6-10, et seq., transferred the functions, powers, duties, and responsibilities exercised by the safety enforcement officers of the Office of Enforcement within the Transportation Division of the South Carolina Public Service Commission to the Department of Public Safety. Section 23-6-100 devolved upon the department the responsibility for the enforcement of the commercial motor carrier related laws. Section 23-6-30 requires the Department of Public Safety to formulate regulations to administer the duties and responsibilities transferred to it by restructuring.

To satisfy the requirements of these sections, the department is copying existing Public Service Commission regulations which impact upon the Department of Public Safety's duty and responsibility to enforce the commercial motor carrier and related laws while reformatting Chapter 38 for the department as an entity. These new regulations require substitution of the Department of Public Safety where the Public Service Commission appeared and add some minor technical requirements.
