PROFESSIONAL AND TRADE LICENSING ACTIONS SC LLR LAWYER IN COLUMBIA, SC
PROFESSIONAL AND TRADE LICENSING ACTIONS:
For most people, their profession or career represents both many years of work and tens of thousands of dollars of investment as well as the means by which they make a living. The practice of many professions and trades require a State License or Certification issued by a Board. The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (SC Dept. LLR or “LLR”) is the South Carolina agency that would investigate licensing issues for the various licensing Boards also under the LLR umbrella.
When a Board and the LLR move against someone’s license, the underlying procedural law is governed by the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) and substantive administrative law. The substance is governed by the specific Practice Act developed by the specific profession and any regulations promulgated by that Board.
