Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

A. Each induced termination of pregnancy which occurs in this state, regardless of the length of gestation, shall be reported to the Bureau of Vital Statistics within seven (7) calendar days by the person in charge of the institution in which the induced termination of pregnancy was performed. If the induced termination of pregnancy was performed outside an institution, it shall be reported by the attending medical provider.

B. Reports of induced termination of pregnancy are statistical reports to be used only for public health purposes. Such reports shall be disposed of when all statistical processing of the reports has been accomplished. However, the Department may establish a data file of such reports so they will be available for future research and such file may be retained for as long as the State Registrar deems necessary.

C. When a late fee is assessed pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-41-460(D), the institution shall be eligible for a fifty percent (50%) reduction of fees if the fee is paid in full within thirty (30) calendar days. If the fee is not paid in full within thirty (30) calendar days, the full amount due must be paid.
