The bill H. 3950 aims to amend Section 40-65-40 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to exemptions from licensure as professional soil classifiers. The proposed amendment specifically exempts licensed professional engineers who are certified by the Department of Environmental Services after completing an onsite wastewater training program. This exemption is limited to engineers performing soil evaluations related to conventional onsite wastewater systems, and it stipulates that these engineers must also possess appropriate bonding and insurance.

The bill seeks to streamline the process for professional engineers to conduct soil evaluations without the need for additional licensure as soil classifiers, thereby facilitating the management of onsite wastewater systems. The changes will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
