Committee moves H.4247 to shift commodity-code enforcement to Attorney General
Summary
Mr. Wooten said H.4247 transfers administration of the South Carolina commodity code from the Secretary of State to the Attorney General, strengthens enforcement and requires publication of administrative orders on the Attorney General's website; the bill passed in committee.
Mr. Wooten introduced H.4247, described as the chairman's bill, and said it makes multiple changes to the South Carolina commodity code intended to strengthen enforcement. Among key provisions he cited: transfer of administration from the Secretary of State to the Attorney General; authority for the Attorney General to pursue legal action on violations; alignment of investigation and administrative hearing procedures with the Securities Act; and a requirement to publish administrative orders on the Attorney General's website. He said the Secretary of State did not object.
Committee members asked no further questions and the committee passed the bill by a show of hands; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
