Committee asks LLR to withdraw proposed burglar-alarm employee fee and resubmit fee-corrections filing
Summary
Members directed the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation to withdraw and resubmit Document 53-48 after the agency acknowledged the $25 burglar-alarm registered-employee fee was a new charge that should be handled separately from routine fee corrections.
The committee voted to ask the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR) to withdraw and resubmit Document 53-48, a fee-schedule corrections filing, to remove a proposed $25 burglar-alarm registered-employee fee.
LLR staff told the committee the $25 charge would constitute a new fee rather than a technical correction. Emily Farr, LLR agency director, said she did not want to include an unvetted new fee in a correction filing and preferred it be handled separately with supporting data. The committee approved the request to withdraw and resubmit the filing so the rest of the corrections could move forward.
Why it matters: Agencies periodically reconcile board fee schedules to ensure revenue and expenses align. Introducing a new fee in a corrective filing drew concern from the agency and committee; the committee directed that the new fee be removed and handled through a separate rulemaking with appropriate justification.
Committee action The committee approved the motion to request withdrawal and resubmission of Document 53-48 to remove the burglar-alarm fee; roll call recorded ayes and the chair announced approval.
Next steps LLR agreed to withdraw the specific fee from the filing and resubmit the corrected package; the committee instructed staff to send a letter documenting the requested change.
