§ 63-1-1114. Rules and regulations - Enforcement.

(a) The authority to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations for the efficient enforcement of this article is hereby vested in the State Board of Health.  The Board is hereby authorized to make the reasonable rules and regulations promulgated under this article conform, insofar as practicable, with those promulgated under the Federal Act.

(b) Hearings authorized or required by this Article shall be conducted by the State Board of Health or such officer, agent, or employee as the Board may designate for the purpose.

(c) Before promulgating any reasonable rules and regulations contemplated by Section 1108, Section 1110(j), or Section 1111 of this article, the Board shall give appropriate notice of the proposal and of the time and place for a hearing.  The reasonable rules and regulations so promulgated shall become effective on a date fixed by the Board (which date shall not be prior to thirty (30) days after its promulgation).  Such reasonable rules and regulations may be amended or repealed in the same manner as is provided for their adoption, except that in the case of reasonable rules and regulations amending or repealing any such reasonable rules and regulations the Board, to such an extent as it deems necessary in order to prevent undue hardship, may disregard the foregoing provisions regarding notice, hearing, or effective date.
