SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The S.C. Code Of Laws (Section 44-7-265) establishes requirements for the promulgation of regulations for freestanding or mobile technology that will include at a minimum: 1) standards for the maintenance and operation of freestanding or mobile technology to ensure the safe and effective treatment of persons served; 2) a description of the professional qualifications necessary for personnel to operate the equipment and interpret the test results; 3) minimum staffing requirements to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and interpret the test results; and 4) that all freestanding or mobile technology must be in conformance with professional organizational standards. Promulgation of this regulation satisfies a legislative mandate requiring the Department to develop regulations to set standards for the licensing and inspection of freestanding or mobile technology.
