SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED
BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
Act 114 of 2007 restructured governance of South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). Sections 571460 and 470 of the Code of Laws, 1976, as amended, enacted pursuant to Act 114, give the SCDOT Commission oversight of the approval of requests for routine operations and maintenance and emergency repairs. Regulation 63100 sets forth the procedures and standards for Commission oversight of these operational approvals.
Act 275 of 2016 further restructured the governance of SCDOT. Act 275 repealed many of the provisions of Act 114 of 2007 that had given the SCDOT Commission oversight of operational matters. For example, Act 275 repealed Section 571370(N), which required the Commission to approve all requests for resurfacing, new signals, curb cuts, bike lanes and construction projects under ten million dollars. It appears that the failure of Act 275 to repeal Sections 571460 and 470 was an oversight. SCDOT anticipates that the General Assembly during its 2017 session will repeal Sections 571460 and 470 of the Code of Laws, 1976, as amended. Such repeal will make Regulation 63100 unnecessary. Therefore, SCDOT is proposing that Regulation 63100 be repealed, contingent upon General Assembly’s action making the regulation unnecessary. The SCDOT Commission approved this change on December 1, 2016.
A Notice of Drafting for proposed changes to Regulation 63100 was published in the State Register on September 23, 2016.
