SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The General Assembly passed legislation, Act 40 of 2007, to close the South Carolina National Guard Student Loan Repayment Program to new participants beginning with the 2007-08 academic year and replaced the program with a college assistance program for South Carolina National Guard members. As of the 2013-14 academic year, the loan repayment program has been fully closed. As a result, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education is repealing in its entirety the program regulation which is no longer needed. Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendments to the regulation was published in the State Register on June 27, 2014.
