The bill H. 3162 aims to amend Section 40-25-40 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the Commission on Hearing Aid Specialists. The primary purpose of this amendment is to correct an archaic reference within the existing legal framework. Specifically, the bill outlines the process for appointing members to the commission, emphasizing that the Governor must invite recommendations from various organizations, including the South Carolina Hearing Aid Society and several state departments, before making appointments.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that each member of the commission serves a four-year term, with provisions for filling vacancies and designating leadership roles within the commission. It also includes a stipulation that members who have served two or more full terms cannot be reappointed until at least one year has passed since the expiration of their last term. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
