A JOINT RESOLUTION

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    The regulations of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, relating to Ice, designated as Regulation Document Number 3139, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.

SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control has substantially amended R.61-54, Ice. This regulation was promulgated pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-1-140 et seq, and was last amended in 1972; the requirements in it have become outdated and obsolete. There have been significant changes in technology and manufacturing practices since the last amendment. It was necessary to strike the text of the existing regulation in total and rewrite the regulation in entirety to meet current standards. The amendments will bring the Regulation in compliance with current industry and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) set forth by the Food and Drug Administration, and assure consumers that the latest sanitation requirements are being met by the wholesale ice industry. Language in the regulation has been updated to correlate with changes in the administrative appeals process pursuant to Act 387 (2006).
