Tanning Regulation Revision
Notice of Drafting
Synopsis:
The Department of Health and Environmental Control proposes to revise Regulation 61-106, Tanning Facilities. The Proposed revisions of R.61-106 will be based on House Bill 3833 that was enacted into law June 9, 2006, as Act 355, and codified at S.C. Code Ann. Section 13-7-45. Specific areas the Department seeks to address in the regulations include redefining the registration requirements and Civil Penalty schedule. The overall changes to the regulations will substantially reduce the regulatory burden to the tanning industry. In addition, the Department intends to make language changes that will result in clarifying many sections of the regulations by making them more specific, better organized, and the intent of regulation more clear.
Including the proposed amendments stated above, the public and regulated community is invited to recommend additional issues for consideration.
The proposed revisions will require legislative review.
Status:
The Department initiated the statutory process to amend R.61-106 by publication of a Notice of Drafting in the S.C. State Register on October 27, 2006. Interested persons may submit their comments in writing to Mr. Aaron A. Gantt, Director, Bureau of Radiological Health, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201.
