TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, RELATING TO PROPRIETARY SCHOOLS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 1979, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the State Board of Education, relating to Proprietary Schools, designated as Regulation Document Number 1979, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
The South Carolina Department of Education proposes to repeal in its entirety Regulation 43-110 through 43-128 Proprietary Schools. As a result of a program analysis undertaken in January, 1991, the State Board of Education requested legislation to transfer this authority to the Commission on Higher Education. This program licenses, authorizes, and approves proprietary (for-profit) post-secondary schools to operate in South Carolina. Since the State Department of Education no longer had any authority over post-secondary schools, the Commission on Higher Education agreed to take on the activity. Legislation passed to authorize this transfer in the 1991 legislative session (Act 246). This regulation is, therefore, unnecessary.
