Updates to DPH Regulations
State Register Document No. 5352 (effective May 23, 2025) includes the following technical changes to DPH regulatory text that were needed as a result of 2023 Act No. 60 (S.399, DHEC restructuring):
- Transfer of 39 DPH regulations from Chapter 61 to the new Chapter 60 of the S.C. Code of Regulations (e.g., Regulation 61-13 is now Regulation 60-13).
- Updates to DHEC references, including definitions, acronyms, email addresses, physical addresses, and other references (e.g., DHEC changed to DPH).
DPH has updated the regulation PDFs and is continuing to update other references on the website.
