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 adds a new exemption for licensed professional engineers who are certified by the Department of Environmental Services after completing an onsite wastewater training program. This exemption allows these engineers to perform soil evaluations related to conventional onsite wastewater systems, provided they meet certain requirements for bonding and insurance.

In summary, the bill seeks to streamline the process for licensed professional engineers to conduct soil evaluations for wastewater systems by exempting them from the need for additional licensure, contingent upon their completion of required training and maintenance of appropriate bonding and insurance. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
