TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, RELATING TO HEARING PROCEDURE, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2839, 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 Health and Human Services, relating to Hearing Procedure, designated as Regulation Document Number 2839, 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.
These regulations amend 126-158 Hearing Procedures of the Department's regulations by adding another paragraph. The proposed change is made primarily for the purpose of allowing for lay representations of businesses and other organizations, which regularly appear in contested cases before the Department's Appeals Division. The South Carolina Supreme Court's Order in In Re Unauthorized Practice of Law Rules Proposed By the South Carolina Bar. 309 S.C. 304, 422 S.E. 2d 123 (1992) sets forth the general parameters of such a practice. The proposed regulations are not intended to affect the rights of applicants and beneficiaries of the federal programs administered by the Department.
