SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

South Carolina Act No. 82, passed by the General Assembly in 2007, and codified in Section 168330 of the South Carolina 1976 Code of Laws, requires SLED to develop and manage a Statewide Criminal Gang Database to facilitate the exchange of information between federal, state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies, and to promulgate regulations regarding this database. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) proposes the regulation contained in this document, entitled “73500 through 73560. Statewide Criminal Gang Database”, as compliance with the abovenoted statute. This proposed regulation was published in the State Register on April 25, 2008, and there were no requests received for a hearing by the Administrative Law Court. As noted in the “Instructions” section below, minor technical changes have been made to the originally proposed language.
