Engineers Join Others in Business Community for Tort Reform
The umbrella business coalition, South Carolina Civil Justice Coalition, is mounting a major push at the State House for more tort reform this year. The group’s efforts are supported by major legislators in both the House and Senate.
Engineers’ can benefit from all of the recommended changes, but the change to the statute of repose is especially important to all in the construction industry. Although the statute of repose was dropped from 13 years to 8 years in 2005, trial lawyers have found a way to make an infraction in the building codes a means to throw out the statute of repose and sue the engineer, architect, or contractor. This section of the tort reform bill alleviates that problem.
Here is a brief explanation of all of the issues bundled into the tort reform legislation. Ask your Senator and House Representative to support this tort reform legislation.

SCSPE and ACEC-SC
Sign Letter Concerning DHEC
ACEC-SC and SCSPE along with 13 other business organizations signed a letter to Senator Harvey Peeler, Senate Medical Affairs Committee Chair, stating their opposition to making the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control a cabinet agency.
The letter said, “Despite any individual problems we may encounter when dealing with DHEC, collectively, we find no compelling reason to restructure this vitally important agency as described in S.384. We do find, however, that there are compelling reasons not to restructure DHEC in such a fashion.”

Volunteer Engineer Corps
The VEC work is community service. It is intended to focus on "unfunded mandates" that currently exist within the system and to provide proactive professional support to the operations of the emergency management process.
Our Volunteer Engineers participate in all four Stages of the Emergency Management Cycle: Planning, Response, Recovery, Mitigation.
The VEC unit is structured to be self contained; that is, to be able to support itself administratively and organizationally. OEM's are typically understaffed and need support of volunteers; not the burden that can come of sponsoring such a program.
To find out more about the VEC click here to review the Standard Operating Guidelines.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer contact Pat Jenkins by email at jenkinsrus@bellsouth.net or call (864) 297-8600.
