A staff presenter said the packet before the committee explained the relationship between federal law, the Appraisal Foundation and the AQB, and the federal requirement that applicants comply with AQB standards. The presenter said compliance is necessary for appraisers to participate in federally related transactions governed by the federal law the presenter cited as “FIRIA.” The presenter summarized changes including revisions to education and experience requirements for licensure, updates to continuing education and removal of outdated provisions.

Holly Beeson, representing LLR, told the committee the AQB standards take effect Jan. 1, 2026, and that the changes add continuing-education hours for licensed credentials while certified credentials will not see a net increase because their total education requirements were adjusted. Beeson said the state must follow federal standards to ensure appraisers can participate in federally related mortgage transactions.

Representative Taylor questioned the value of continuing education and urged boards and LLR to seek higher-quality providers; Beeson said continuing education quality varies and LLR attempts to identify trusted providers.

Representative Neese moved approval of the regulation and asked that the committee formally request LLR promulgate emergency regulations to remove these provisions if federal requirements later change. The motion was seconded and approved on a 9-0 roll-call vote.

Votes at a glance: Document 53-40 — approved 9-0. Members recorded as voting yes were Alexander; Gilliard; Guffey; Hart; Long; Martin; Neese; Taylor; and Bridal.

The committee recorded no change to state policy beyond aligning state regulation to the cited federal standards and requested that LLR be prepared to adjust rules promptly should federal guidance shift.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Full Committee House Regulations, Administrative Procedures, Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity April 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved updated appraiser licensure and continuing-education rules (Document 53-40) to align with federal Appraiser Qualifications Board standards and Act 196 of 2024; members asked LLR to prepare emergency rules if federal requirements change.","taxTitle","2025 Legislative Meetings, South Carolina","taxId",78666,"location","South Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6261943,"Committee approves OSHA ‘walk-around’ rule update; members seek narrower third‑party language",1658,640000,2298000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab&start=640&end=2298","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab/thumbnail_640000.jpg","/articles/6261943/South-Carolina/Committee-approves-OSHA-walk-around-rule-update-members-seek-narrower-thirdparty-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261943-57e53f89062cbca9803152dd9dbdded0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204853&Signature=amXcUU1ET9Nr0jcyNfm~MH346wJJ0plmx9~7KWUqLxcQb7KlpWqUZlBhdal6IRwFMLoAB4GKT~KdQuMFA5O-5rExP3bBI-V3jQozk9yWYpSO2LmFvpxWtFs91X37Etodxoh0v2BoBzwYYOel6v~Xad1QrTi9xOgz40w4ESd-q71jqykDFbfWf4WVH-mgbvs8XZPgDYCX2hp6ZEqn~EM1hc2CC7wc7b8Uz96qmIzC018XoOSh39yaFpl29TweGqM6lhJs995tGruwCYaTc~FC3YP~Jh~IkyfpZU0LyWyYoSRlITOUbjUr2bmWjQJzDyh5dvGRRSOIGmKpXdYUieAlIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee voted 9-0 to approve the proposed update to South Carolina OSHA’s worker walk-around representative rule (Document 53-38), a change the panel’s staff said is needed for the state to remain “at least as effective” as federal OSHA and therefore retain the state plan.

Christina Baker, deputy director of labor for the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, told the committee: “I am Christina Baker. I'm the deputy director of labor for the South Carolina Department of Labor, licensing and regulation. And under my leadership does come South Carolina OSHA.” She explained the rule change adds language describing that a third party may, in some circumstances, serve as an employee’s representative during a walk-around when the compliance officer determines that person would add value.

Baker said surprise visits remain standard practice and that an opening conference on-site precedes the walk-around to determine who should participate. She said the compliance officer will judge whether a proposed third party “adds value and or who might even be disruptive and shouldn't be on the walk around.”

Several legislators supported the surprise-inspection element as important to public safety. Representative Taylor said unannounced inspections are “critically important” because advance notice can allow sites to hide hazards. Representative Martin raised concerns that the rule’s wording could be broad, allowing attorneys, family members or other nonemployees to accompany inspections; he urged narrowing the language and adding clearer screening or vetting standards. Representative Gilliard described past experience pressing for surprise inspections at hazardous sites.

Representative Neese moved approval of the regulation and included a request that LLR promulgate emergency regulations to remove the new provisions if federal changes later make them unnecessary; a second was recorded and the committee approved the motion on a 9-0 roll-call vote.

The agency warned that, if South Carolina did not adopt a rule at least as effective as the federal standard, federal authorities could withdraw approval of the state plan or give additional time — outcomes the agency said it could not predict.

The committee requested follow-up work to refine language on third‑party representation and indicated staff and committee members would continue negotiating precise vetting procedures outside the hearing.","The committee approved updated language on who may accompany OSHA compliance officers during a workplace walk-around to keep South Carolina’s state OSHA plan aligned with federal changes, while some lawmakers urged narrowing who may act as a third‑party representative.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6261947,"Committee approves withdrawal and resubmission of donated-deer processing rule",327,220000,547000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab&start=220&end=547","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab/thumbnail_220000.jpg","/articles/6261947/South-Carolina/Committee-approves-withdrawal-and-resubmission-of-donated-deer-processing-rule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261947-ac6c4f2d13272299a1f3840204443d86/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204853&Signature=FJDa7qa0TkA7hlxdMH50jd3~XKbqLmDqsSY6B2n2PT0Wzk97UaVL1bA033nq9BAIrFJE7JLErj1CmWq7PpPqaqJRzZx2u7zGGEax7uar8JPf8HiV8-lX7iqgWzVWgqRiybK64lyts7vPdzgFtE~3R2FpCYI~efaT4AFoKb1M41oONtosKtLBvEhv~zbK1Rd6sHeSItgKupdNbi8B~nVBAPZy3gaCcWbG545rEF9Aj5heYX~V1v3DiubDfJvzvsQ0xvZFnaVjmV7LB39Hyw531bI05fWm2zMfLiCusJ44SPl5H~prikShpJAowSJVuhrrP3~AAqLHXEiJqBY82thKVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee approved a motion to withdraw and resubmit the Department of Natural Resources regulation implementing Act 149 of 2024 that addresses donated deer processing (Document 53-30).

A presenter explained that Act 149 of 2024 amended section 50 11, 19 10 to allow permitted processors to handle deer donated by hunters or depredation permittees and recover only a processing fee from a person other than the hunter. The presenter said the legislation directed the Department of Natural Resources to promulgate implementing regulations and that the regulation raised questions the committee previously asked about reporting requirements and treatment of uncollected venison at season end.

The presenter described differences between language considered by the Senate and the House: the Senate draft narrowed reporting requirements to an annual count of donated deer and corrected an item label to read “permitted processors.” The House-proposed language sought to define “donated deer” and to treat processed deer not collected within the posted pickup time frame as donated.

Representative Alexander asked for clarification about what donors mean by “donate,” and the presenter explained that hunters who do not want to keep meat can tell a permitted processor they are donating the deer so the processor can recover only processing fees and then distribute or sell the processed product in accordance with the regulation.

After discussion, the clerk called the roll. The clerk recorded a 9-0 vote approving withdrawal and resubmission of Document 53-30 for further editing and alignment between House and Senate language.

Votes at a glance: Document 53-30 — approved for withdrawal and resubmit, 9-0 (members recorded as voting yes: Alexander; Gilliard; Guffey; Hart; Long; Martin; Neese; Taylor; Bradley).

No final regulatory text was adopted at the hearing; the action was procedural to allow additional drafting and review.","The committee voted unanimously to withdraw and resubmit regulations implementing Act 149 of 2024 on donated deer processing, asking the agency to refine reporting provisions and other wording before re-filing.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6261952,"Committee votes to withdraw, resubmit daycare regulation for rewording",140,75000,215000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab&start=75&end=215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3117271-020cbf21470562353fa9f231bc012cab/thumbnail_75000.jpg","/articles/6261952/South-Carolina/Committee-votes-to-withdraw-resubmit-daycare-regulation-for-rewording","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6261952-ef0dc584a63ca1564d9e3b376ebb16f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204853&Signature=fzrT6ocKu1VJ0B8G0fxj~tLS-ygp7St9343PPWB7RFM9s57U69UvpKCw3jeoqx3qW60Xa13ObzkJLsP3fXcH8UFb5LsCIE~Vx1VAI9sbWjZzIu2pUJn~7pJs82WNrtIv8mQ1pQw6fP1JEoKN99PdBhE5TFyM0X6lEBxdCo8cNNg5egus~Oj4LxuY-gHF-RGdtrbg~oyNnAChAbmoGTvT6ozDgznutE6kKEUOM66W-1I6IncVTUtp-trOTarI8dYdVam8ScdKFfuplBEIKO5V7SSVTC4pB8Mt5f4wi12nv~0xAfbSssdCe0Fh45JDz9tAsU~Ex1BD92pLmJyQigAf2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chairman Jeff Bridal said the House Regulations, Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security Committee approved a motion to withdraw and resubmit the daycare regulation in Document 53-14 so the agency can revise contested wording.

The move, made during the committee’s meeting, followed a request from a committee member who said, “I would ask that the agency withdraw or resubmit the regulation to address some of those concerns, and I'm happy to meet with them and, like to get some further input.” The committee member said withdrawing and resubmitting would “stop the clock on the regulation” and allow the committee and stakeholders to work on the language.

Hanley and Bradley, representing the Department of Social Services, told the panel the agency intends to continue the discussion through the summer and consult the state advisory committee outlined in statute. Hanley and Bradley said, “The agency is committed to continuing the conversation through the interim of the summer months, as we work with our state advisory committee, that is outlined in statute.”

Committee procedure followed: the chairman asked for a second and the committee conducted a roll-call vote. The clerk called the roll and recorded the members present. The clerk announced the outcome: by a vote of 9 to 0 the motion to withdraw and resubmit Document 53-14 was approved.

The committee did not adopt substitute language during the meeting. Committee members asked that the agency return to the committee with final language prior to formal resubmission to the state register so the panel can review public comments and proposed changes ahead of filing.

No effective date or specific revised text was adopted at the meeting; the action was limited to withdrawal for further drafting and stakeholder meetings.

The committee directed the agency to continue stakeholder outreach and to return with reworked language for additional committee review before formal resubmission to the state register.","The House regulations committee approved a motion to withdraw and resubmit the daycare regulation in Document 53-14 so the agency can address committee concerns and return with revised language.","actionData","errors"]
