S.C. Code Regs. § 35-6 - Administrative Citations and Penalties

(A) The board may issue administrative citations and cease and desist orders in person or by certified mail and may assess administrative penalties against an entity or individual, including unlicensed persons, for violations of this chapter or regulation as specified by the board.

(B) Separate citations may be issued and separate administrative penalties may be assessed for each violation; however, no more than five hundred dollars in administrative penalties may be assessed against an entity or an individual per offense.

(C) Administrative penalties authorized under this section are separate from and in addition to all other remedies, either civil or criminal.

(D) An entity or individual assessed administrative penalties may appeal those penalties to the board within ten calendar days of receipt of the citation. If an appeal is filed, the department shall schedule a hearing before the board, which shall make a determination in the matter. If no appeal is filed, the citation is deemed a final order and the administrative penalties must be paid within thirty calendar days of receipt of the citation or other written demand.
