The appointments of members by the host county house delegation and the host county senate delegation shall be made at meetings of the members of the respective delegations held pursuant to the call of the mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality, who shall provide the members of each delegation with written notice of any such meeting at least ten days prior to the date set therefor. All meetings of the host county house delegation or the host county senate delegation called and held pursuant to this chapter shall be open to the public. Any appointment of a member by the host county house delegation or the host county senate delegation must be approved by a majority of the members of such delegation voting in person at a public meeting called and held pursuant to this chapter. Any meeting of the host county house delegation or the host county senate delegation at which fewer than a majority of the members of such delegation are present, or at which no appointment of a member is made because of a failure to obtain the approval of a majority of the members of such delegation, may be adjourned to a future time and place announced at such meeting; provided that, if either delegation fails to appoint a member within 30 days of the date of the first meeting called for the purpose of such appointment, the right of such delegation to appoint a member shall terminate and such appointment shall be made as soon thereafter as practicable by the mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality.\n(b) The mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality and the president or other designated presiding officer of the county commission of the host county shall each have the right, exercisable in his or her discretion and at any time during his or her tenure as such official, to appoint a member of the commission to serve in lieu of such appointing official for a fixed term from the effective date of such appointment until the end of the current term of office of the appointing official. Any such appointed member shall, during his or her term, exercise the full rights and powers of a member of the commission that the appointing official would have possessed if he or she had chosen to serve as an ex officio member. Any such appointed member shall also comply with the qualifications set forth in subsection (f), except that the mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality may, in his or her discretion, appoint a member of the governing body of the sponsoring municipality to serve as a fixed-term member of the commission, and the president or other designated presiding officer of the county commission of the host county may, in his or her discretion, appoint a member of the county commission to serve as a fixed-term member of the commission.\n(c) The mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality and the president or other designated presiding officer of the county commission of the host county shall have the right, exercisable in the discretion of each such official and at any time and from time to time during his or her tenure as such official, to appoint a deputy member of the commission to represent such ex officio member in connection with the business of the commission. In the event that, pursuant to subsection (b), a member of the governing body of the sponsoring municipality is appointed as a fixed-term member of the commission or a member of the county commission of the host county is appointed as a fixed-term member of the commission, then each such appointed member shall have the same right to appoint a deputy member as would belong to the appointing official if he or she chose service as an ex officio member. Any deputy member shall be appointed by a letter signed by the appointing member and filed with the executive secretary of the commission, which letter shall specify the period of time for which such deputy member shall be appointed or, if not for a period of time, the particular meeting or other business for which he or she shall be appointed. Any deputy member shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing member, and his or her appointment may be revoked at any time during the term of office of the appointing member by a letter signed by the appointing member and filed with the executive secretary of the commission. The appointment of any deputy member shall be automatically revoked when the appointing member ceases to be a member of the commission for any reason. Each member of the commission entitled to appoint a deputy member may, during his or her term of office, appoint and remove from office as many deputy members as he or she may choose, provided that at any given time such member may have no more than one validly appointed deputy member. Any deputy member shall comply with the qualifications set forth in subsection (f), except that the mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality or any fixed-term member appointed to serve in lieu of such official, may, in his or her discretion, appoint a member of the governing body of the sponsoring municipality or a full-time officer or employee of such municipality to serve as deputy member, and the president or other designated presiding officer of the county commission of the host county or any fixed-term member appointed to serve in lieu of such official may, in his or her discretion, appoint a member of the county commission of the host county or a full-time officer or employee of such county to serve as deputy member. Any deputy member validly appointed and serving in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be entitled to exercise all powers and perform all functions and duties of the member who appointed such deputy member, including, without limitation, the right to vote on all matters coming before the commission when such appointing member is not present.\n(d) The member to be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of the state shall be appointed for a term beginning immediately upon his appointment and ending at noon on July 1 in the third calendar year next following the calendar year in which the election authorizing the incorporation of the commission shall be conducted; the member to be appointed by the host county house delegation shall be appointed for a term beginning immediately upon his appointment and ending at noon on July 1 in the fourth calendar year next following the calendar year in which the election authorizing the incorporation of the commission shall be conducted; the member to be appointed by the host county senate delegation shall be appointed for a term beginning immediately upon his appointment and ending at noon on July 1 in the fifth calendar year next following the calendar year in which the election authorizing the incorporation of the commission shall be conducted. Thereafter, the term of office of each appointed member shall be five years, commencing at noon on the July 1 on which the term of the immediate predecessor member shall end.\n(e) If at any time there shall be a vacancy among the appointed members of a commission (i.e., those members who do not serve ex officio), a successor member shall be appointed to serve for the unexpired term applicable to such vacancy; provided, however, that any official entitled ex officio (e.g., the mayor of the sponsoring municipality or the president of the county commission of the host county) to a vacant membership previously held by a member appointed in lieu of such official may, instead of appointing a successor, resume his or her ex officio membership by filing written notice to that effect with the Secretary of State and the executive secretary of the commission. The appointment of each member appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, the host county house delegation, or the host county senate delegation, as the case may be (other than those initially appointed), whether for a full five-year term or to complete an unexpired term, shall be made by the officer or legislative delegation responsible for the appointment of the member whose term shall have expired or is to expire or in whose position a vacancy otherwise exists and shall be made not earlier than 30 days prior to the date on which such member is to take office as such. If the term of any such member shall expire prior to the reappointment of such member or prior to the appointment of his successor, such member shall continue to serve until his successor is appointed, and if such member is reappointed for a new term after the expiration of the immediately preceding term which he has been serving, his new term of office shall be deemed to have commenced at noon on the July 1 on which the immediately preceding term shall have expired. Any member appointed pursuant to subsection (b) shall not serve beyond the term for which appointed, and upon the expiration of such term, the position previously held by such member shall immediately revert to the official entitled thereto by reason of his or her office, and such official shall continue as ex officio member of the commission until the expiration of his or her current term of office, the vacation of such office prior to the expiration thereof, or the appointment of someone pursuant to said subsection (b) to serve as a member in lieu of such official, as the case may be. Members appointed by any appointing authority shall be eligible for reappointment without limit as to the number of terms previously served. In the event that any appointments required to be made by the Lieutenant Governor, the host county house delegation, or the host county senate delegation are not made within 60 days after the certification to the Secretary of State of a favorable vote at an election called and held pursuant to this chapter (in the case of initial appointments), or within 30 days of the end of a term or other vacancy, then a vacancy shall be filled or a successor member appointed by a majority of the members of the commission holding appointments already made or serving as ex officio members. Appointments shall be evidenced by a written certificate executed by the appointing official, or, in the case of appointments made by a majority of the other members, by a certificate signed by the members making such appointment, or, in the case of appointments made by a legislative delegation, by the members of the delegation voting for such appointment or by a member of the delegation designated to serve as the secretary of the meeting at which such appointment is made and to report the results thereof to the Secretary of State. The certificates evidencing the appointment of members of a commission shall be addressed and delivered to the Secretary of State, who shall maintain the originals of such certificates as official records in his office, and copies of such certificates shall be furnished to the executive secretary of the commission.\n(f) Each appointed member of any commission shall have been a resident of the host county for a period of at least five years prior to his or her appointment and shall, at the time of his or her appointment and at all times during his or her term of office, be a resident of the host county and a qualified elector of the state, and a failure by any appointed member to remain so qualified during such term of office shall cause a vacancy of the office of such member. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), no person serving as a member of the Legislature of the state, serving as a member of the governing body of any municipality, county, or other political subdivision of the state, or holding a full-time office or position of employment with the United States of America, the state, any county, or municipality in the state, or any instrumentality, agency, or subdivision of any of the foregoing, shall be eligible for appointment as a member or deputy member of a commission. Service by any person as a member, director, trustee, or other participant in the management or administration of any governmental agency, board, or commission, or public educational institution, or other public body of the United States of America, the state, or any county or municipality or other political subdivision shall not render such person ineligible for appointment as a member of a commission unless such service constitutes full-time employment. Each appointed member shall be of good moral character and shall never have been convicted of a felony or other offense involving moral turpitude. Each appointed member of a commission shall make and submit to the appointing officer or legislative delegation responsible for his or her appointment an affidavit confirming his or her qualifications, as set forth in the preceding provisions of this subsection, to serve as a member of a commission, which affidavit shall be filed with the Secretary of State along with the aforesaid certificate evidencing such appointment. Any appointed member of a commission who in such affidavit intentionally makes a false statement of material fact or intentionally fails to disclose any information necessary to make any statement of material fact made therein not misleading shall be guilty of perjury and shall be subject to prosecution and punishment therefor in the same manner as if he had committed perjury as a witness in open court.\n(g) Any person who is an appointed member of a commission shall be deemed to vacate his or her office as such member by (1) the acceptance of any office or employment which, had such person held such office or been so employed at the time of his or her appointment as a member, would have rendered such person ineligible for appointment as a member or (2) the occurrence of any event or circumstance involving the character of such person which, had such event or circumstance occurred prior to the time of his or her appointment as a member, would have precluded such appointment. Any appointed member may be impeached and removed from office as a member of a commission in the same manner and on the same grounds provided in Section 175 of the Constitution of Alabama, or successor provision thereof, and the general laws of the state for impeachment and removal of the public officers subject to said Section 175 or successor provision thereof. The mayor or other chief executive officer of the sponsoring municipality and the president or other designated presiding officer of the county commission of the host county may not be impeached and removed from office as a member of a commission apart from their impeachment and removal from their respective offices by virtue of which, ex officio, they serve as members.\n(Acts 1984, No. 84-131, p. 159, \u00a75; Acts 1991, No. 91-187, p. 246, \u00a75.)"}

If in the judgment of the commission the person making such application is a disqualified person, or the acquisition or transfer of stock or other interest or membership in an entity holding a horse racing facility license or an operator's license would be detrimental to the public interest, to the honesty and integrity of horse racing or greyhound racing, or to the reputation of either thereof, then, in any such case, the application shall be denied.

In establishing cleanup standards, cleanup levels may be based on specific requirements of relevant environmental laws or regulations (e.g., Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, TSCA, RCRA, CERCLA), derived using the procedures outlined in Section 300.430(e)(2) of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (40 C.F.R. Part 300), and/or based upon the results of a site-specific risk assessment.\n(2) The department may set cleanup levels for all hazardous constituents, a subset of hazardous wastes, or for those hazardous constituents that the department has reason to believe may have been released at the property.\n(3) The department may set cleanup levels which reflect current and future use scenarios for the property as follows:\na. A site shall be deemed to have met the requirements for unrestricted use if the cleanup levels are derived in a manner consistent with department or Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for assessing human and environmental health risks from hazardous constituents.\nb. For sites that do not achieve the unrestricted use classification, restrictions on site use may be applied to achieve cleanup standards. Restrictions shall include, but not be limited to, land use controls.

Events upon which an elective office becomes vacant in municipality with population under 500,000.\n(a) Vacancy by resignation. A resignation is not effective unless it is in\r\nwriting, signed by the person holding the elective office, and notarized.\n(1) Unconditional resignation. An unconditional     resignation by a person holding the elective office may specify a future date, not later than 60 days after the date the resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy, at which time it becomes operative, but the resignation may not be withdrawn after it is received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy. The effective date of a resignation that does not specify a future date at which it becomes operative is the date the resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy. The effective date of a resignation that has a specified future effective date is that specified future date or the date the resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date occurs later.\n(2) Conditional resignation. A resignation that does     not become effective unless a specified event occurs can be withdrawn at any time prior to the occurrence of the specified event, but if not withdrawn, the effective date of the resignation is the date of the occurrence of the specified event or the date the resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date occurs later.\n(3) Vacancy upon the effective date. For the purpose     of determining the time period that would require an election to fill the vacancy by resignation or the commencement of the 60-day time period referred to in subsection (e), the resignation of an elected officer is deemed to have created a vacancy as of the effective date of the resignation.\n(4) Duty of the clerk. If a resignation is delivered     to the clerk of the municipality, the clerk shall forward a certified copy of the written resignation to the official who is authorized to fill the vacancy within 7 business days after receipt of the resignation.\n(b) Vacancy by death or disability. A vacancy occurs in an office by reason\r\nof the death of the incumbent. The date of the death may be established by the date shown on the death\r\ncertificate. A vacancy occurs in an office by permanent physical or\r\nmental disability rendering the person incapable of performing the duties of the office.\r\nThe corporate authorities have the authority to make the determination whether an officer is incapable of performing the duties of the office because of a permanent physical or mental disability. A finding of mental disability shall not be made prior to the appointment by a court of a guardian ad litem for the officer or until a duly licensed\r\ndoctor certifies, in writing, that the officer is mentally impaired to the extent that the\r\nofficer is unable to effectively perform the duties of the office. If the corporate\r\nauthorities find that an officer is incapable of performing the duties of the office due to permanent\r\nphysical or mental disability, that person is removed from the office and the vacancy of the office occurs on the date of the determination.\n(c) Vacancy by other causes.\n(1) Abandonment and other causes. A vacancy occurs in     an office by reason of abandonment of office; removal from office; or failure to qualify; or more than temporary removal of residence from the municipality; or in the case of an alderperson of a ward or councilman or trustee of a district, more than temporary removal of residence from the ward or district, as the case may be. The corporate authorities have the authority to determine whether a vacancy under this subsection has occurred. If the corporate authorities determine that a vacancy exists, the office is deemed vacant as of the date of that determination for all purposes including the calculation under subsections (e), (f), and (g).\n(2) Guilty of a criminal offense. An admission of     guilt of a criminal offense that upon conviction would disqualify the municipal officer from holding the office, in the form of a written agreement with State or federal prosecutors to plead guilty to a felony, bribery, perjury, or other infamous crime under State or federal law, constitutes a resignation from that office, effective on the date the plea agreement is made. For purposes of this Section, a conviction for an offense that disqualifies a municipal officer from holding that office occurs on the date of the return of a guilty verdict or, in the case of a trial by the court, on the entry of a finding of guilt.\n(3) Election declared void. A vacancy occurs on the     date of the decision of a competent tribunal declaring the election of the officer void.\n(4) Owing a debt to the municipality. A vacancy     occurs if a municipal official fails to pay a debt to a municipality in which the official has been elected or appointed to an elected position subject to the following:\n(A) Before a vacancy may occur under this         paragraph (4), the municipal clerk shall deliver, by personal service, a written notice to the municipal official that (i) the municipal official is in arrears of a debt to the municipality, (ii) that municipal official must either pay or contest the debt within 30 days after receipt of the notice or the municipal official will be disqualified and his or her office vacated, and (iii) if the municipal official chooses to contest the debt, the municipal official must provide written notice to the municipal clerk of the contesting of the debt. A copy of the notice, and the notice to contest, shall also be mailed by the municipal clerk to the appointed municipal attorney by certified mail. If the municipal clerk is the municipal official indebted to the municipality, the mayor or president of the municipality shall assume the duties of the municipal clerk required under this paragraph (4).\n(B) In the event that the municipal official         chooses to contest the debt, a hearing shall be held within 30 days of the municipal clerk's receipt of the written notice of contest from the municipal official. An appointed municipal hearing officer shall preside over the hearing, and shall hear testimony and accept evidence relevant to the existence of the debt owed by the municipal officer to the municipality.\n(C) Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the         hearing officer shall make a determination on the basis of the evidence presented as to whether or not the municipal official is in arrears of a debt to the municipality.  The determination shall be in writing and shall be designated as findings, decision, and order. The findings, decision, and order shall include: (i) the hearing officer's findings of fact; (ii) a decision of whether or not the municipal official is in arrears of a debt to the municipality based upon the findings of fact; and (iii) an order that either directs the municipal official to pay the debt within 30 days or be disqualified and his or her office vacated or dismisses the matter if a debt owed to the municipality is not proved. A copy of the hearing officer's written determination shall be served upon the municipal official in open proceedings before the hearing officer. If the municipal official does not appear for receipt of the written determination, the written determination shall be deemed to have been served on the municipal official on the date when a copy of the written determination is personally served on the municipal official or on the date when a copy of the written determination is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the municipal official at the address on record with the municipality.\n(D) A municipal official aggrieved by the         determination of a hearing officer may secure judicial review of such determination in the circuit court of the county in which the hearing was held.

Once the appointment of the qualified person has been forwarded to the corporate\r\nauthorities, the corporate authorities shall act upon the appointment within 30 days. If the appointment fails to receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities within 30 days, the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting president shall appoint and forward to the corporate authorities a second qualified person as described in Section 3.1-10-5. Once the appointment of the second qualified person has been\r\nforwarded to the corporate authorities, the corporate authorities shall act upon the\r\nappointment within 30 days. If the appointment of the second qualified person also fails to receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities, then the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting president, without the advice and consent of the corporate authorities, may make a temporary appointment from those persons who were appointed but whose appointments failed to receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities. The person receiving the temporary appointment shall serve until an appointment has received the advice and consent and the appointee has qualified or until a person has been elected and has qualified, whichever first occurs.\n(f) Election to fill vacancies in municipal offices with 4-year terms. If a vacancy occurs in an elective municipal office with a 4-year term and there remains an unexpired portion of the term of at least 28 months, and the vacancy occurs at least 130 days before\r\nthe general municipal election next scheduled under the general election law, then the vacancy shall be filled for the remainder of the term at that general municipal election.

However, in villages with a population of less than 5,000, if each of the trustees either declines the election as acting president or is not elected by a majority vote of the trustees presently holding office, then the trustees may elect, as acting president, any other village resident who is qualified to hold municipal office, and the acting president shall exercise the powers of the president and shall vote and have veto power in the manner provided by law for a president.\n(2) Alderperson or trustee. If the vacancy is in the     office of alderperson or trustee, the vacancy must be filled by the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting president, as the case may be, in accordance with subsection (e).\n(3) Other elective office. If the vacancy is in any     elective municipal office other than mayor or president or alderperson or trustee, the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting president, as the case may be, must appoint a qualified person to hold the office until the office is filled by election, subject to the advice and consent of the city council or the board of trustees, as the case may be.\n(g) Vacancies in municipal offices with 2-year terms.

If the vacancy is in the     office of alderperson or trustee, the vacancy must be filled by the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting president, as the case may be, in accordance with subsection (e).\n(3) Other elective office.

A copy of the hearing officer's written determination shall be served upon the municipal official in open proceedings before the hearing officer. If the municipal official does not appear for receipt of the written determination, the written determination shall be deemed to have been served on the municipal official on the date when a copy of the written determination is personally served on the municipal official or on the date when a copy of the written determination is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the municipal official at the address on record in the files of the municipality.\n(D) A municipal official aggrieved by the         determination of a hearing officer may secure judicial review of such determination in the circuit court of the county in which the hearing was held. The municipal official seeking judicial review must file a petition with the clerk of the court and must serve a copy of the petition upon the municipality by registered or certified mail within 5 days after service of the determination of the hearing officer.

No answer to the petition need be filed, but the municipality shall cause the record of proceedings before the hearing officer to be filed with the clerk of the court on or before the date of the hearing on the petition or as ordered by the court.     The court shall set the matter for hearing to be held within 30 days after the filing of the petition and shall make its decision promptly after such hearing.\n(E) If a municipal official chooses to pay the         debt, or is ordered to pay the debt after the hearing, the municipal official must present proof of payment to the municipal clerk that the debt was paid in full, and, if applicable, within the required time period as ordered by a hearing officer.\n(F) A municipal official will be disqualified and         his or her office vacated pursuant to this paragraph (3) on the later of the following times the municipal official: (i) fails to pay or contest the debt within 30 days of the municipal official's receipt of the notice of the debt; (ii) fails to pay the debt within 30 days after being served with a written determination under subparagraph (C) ordering the municipal official to pay the debt; or (iii) fails to pay the debt within 30 days after being served with a decision pursuant to subparagraph (D) upholding a hearing officer's determination that the municipal officer has failed to pay a debt owed to a municipality.\n(G) For purposes of this paragraph, a \"debt\"         shall mean an arrearage in a definitely ascertainable and quantifiable amount after service of written notice thereof, in the payment of any indebtedness due to the municipality, which has been adjudicated before a tribunal with jurisdiction over the matter. A municipal official is considered in arrears of a debt to a municipality if a debt is more than 30 days overdue from the date the debt was due.\n(b) If a vacancy occurs in an elective municipal office with a 4-year term and\r\nthere remains an unexpired portion of the term of at least 28 months, and the vacancy occurs at least 130 days before the general municipal election next scheduled under the general election law, then the vacancy shall be filled for the remainder of the term at that\r\ngeneral municipal election.

For purposes of this subsection (e), the term:\n(i) \"Existing cable television franchise\" means a     community antenna television franchise granted by a municipality which is in use at the time such municipality receives an application or request by another cable operator for a franchise to provide cable antenna television services within all or any portion of the territorial area which is or may be served under the existing cable television franchise.\n(ii) \"Additional cable television franchise\" means a     franchise pursuant to which community antenna television services may be provided within the territorial areas, or any portion thereof, which may be served under an existing cable television franchise.\n(iii) \"Franchising Authority\" is defined as that term     is defined under Section 602(9) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549, but does not include any municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more.\n(iv) \"Cable operator\" is defined as that term is     defined under Section 602(4) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549.\nBefore granting an additional cable television franchise, the franchising\r\nauthority shall:\n(1) Give written notice to the owner or operator of     any other community antenna television system franchised to serve all or any portion of the territorial area to be served by such additional cable television franchise, identifying the applicant for such additional franchise and specifying the date, time and place at which the franchising authority shall conduct public hearings to consider and determine whether such additional cable television franchise should be granted.\n(2) Conduct a public hearing to determine the public     need for such additional cable television franchise, the capacity of public rights-of-way to accommodate such additional community antenna television services, the potential disruption to existing users of public rights-of-way to be used by such additional franchise applicant to complete construction and to provide cable television services within the proposed franchise area, the long term economic impact of such additional cable television system within the community, and such other factors as the franchising authority shall deem appropriate.\n(3) Determine, based upon the foregoing factors,     whether it is in the best interest of the municipality to grant such additional cable television franchise.\n(4) If the franchising authority shall determine that     it is in the best interest of the municipality to do so, it may grant the additional cable television franchise.  Except as provided in paragraph (5) of this subsection (e), no such additional cable television franchise shall be granted under terms or conditions more favorable or less burdensome to the applicant than those required under the existing cable television franchise, including but not limited to terms and conditions pertaining to the territorial extent of the franchise, system design, technical performance standards,  construction schedules, performance bonds, standards for construction and installation of cable television facilities, service to subscribers, public educational and governmental access channels and programming, production assistance, liability and indemnification, and franchise fees.\n(5) Unless the existing cable television franchise     provides that any additional cable television franchise shall be subject to the same terms or substantially equivalent terms and conditions as those of the existing cable television franchise, the franchising authority may grant an additional cable television franchise under different terms and conditions than those of the existing franchise, in which event the franchising authority shall enter into good faith negotiations with the existing franchisee and shall, within 120 days after the effective date of the additional cable television franchise, modify the existing cable television franchise in a manner and to the extent necessary to ensure that neither the existing cable television franchise nor the additional cable television franchise, each considered in its entirety, provides a competitive advantage over the other, provided that prior to modifying the existing cable television franchise, the franchising authority shall have conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed modification. No modification in the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall oblige the existing cable television franchisee (1) to make any additional payment to the franchising authority, including the payment of any additional franchise fee, (2) to engage in any additional construction of the existing cable television system or, (3) to modify the specifications or design of the existing cable television system; and the inclusion of the factors identified in items (2) and (3) shall not be considered in determining whether either franchise considered in its entirety, has a competitive advantage over the other except to the extent that the additional franchisee provides additional video or data services or the equipment or facilities necessary to generate and or carry such service. No modification in the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall be made if the existing cable television franchisee elects to continue to operate under all terms and conditions of the existing franchise.\nIf within the 120 day period the franchising     authority and the existing cable television franchisee are unable to reach agreement on modifications to the existing cable television franchise, then the franchising authority shall modify the existing cable television franchise, effective 45 days thereafter, in a manner, and only to the extent, that the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall no longer impose any duty or obligation on the existing franchisee which is not also imposed under the additional cable television franchise; however, if by the modification the existing cable television franchisee is relieved of duties or obligations not imposed under the additional cable television franchise, then within the same 45 days and following a public hearing concerning modification of the additional cable television franchise within that 45 day period, the franchising authority shall modify the additional cable television franchise to the extent necessary to insure that neither the existing cable television franchise nor the additional cable television franchise, each considered in its entirety, shall have a competitive advantage over the other.\nNo municipality shall be subject to suit for damages based upon the\r\nmunicipality's determination to grant or its refusal to grant an additional\r\ncable television franchise, provided that a\r\npublic hearing as herein provided has been held and the franchising\r\nauthority has determined that it is in the best interest of the\r\nmunicipality to grant or refuse to grant such additional franchise, as\r\nthe\r\ncase may be.\nIt is declared to be the law of this State, pursuant to paragraphs (h)\r\nand (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution, that the\r\nestablishment of minimum standards and procedures for the granting of\r\nadditional cable television franchises by municipalities with a population\r\nless than 1,000,000 as provided in this subsection (e) is an exclusive\r\nState power and function that may not be exercised concurrently by a home\r\nrule unit.\n(f) No municipality may acquire, construct, own, or operate a community\r\nantenna\r\ntelevision system\r\nunless the corporate authorities adopt\r\nan\r\nordinance.  The ordinance must set forth the action proposed; describe the\r\nplant,\r\nequipment, and property to be acquired or constructed; and specifically\r\ndescribe the\r\nmanner in which the construction, acquisition, and operation of the system\r\nwill\r\nbe financed.\nThe ordinance may not take effect until the question of acquiring,\r\nconstruction,\r\nowning, or operating a community antenna television system\r\nhas been\r\nsubmitted to the electors of the municipality at a regular election and\r\napproved by a\r\nmajority of the electors voting on the question.  The corporate authorities\r\nmust certify the\r\nquestion to the proper election authority, which must submit the question at an\r\nelection in\r\naccordance with the Election Code.\nThe question must be submitted in substantially the following form:\nShall the ordinance authorizing the municipality to     (insert action authorized by ordinance) take effect?\r\nThe votes must be recorded as \"Yes\" or \"No\".\nIf a majority of electors voting on the question vote in the affirmative, the\r\nordinance shall take effect.\nNot more than 30 or less than 15 days before the date of the referendum, the\r\nmunicipal clerk must publish the ordinance at least once in one or more\r\nnewspapers\r\npublished in the municipality or, if no newspaper is published in the\r\nmunicipality, in one\r\nor more newspapers of general circulation within the municipality.\n(Source: P.A. 95-9, eff. 6-30-07; 95-876, eff. 8-21-08.)\n(65 ILCS 5/11-42-11.05)\nSec. 11-42-11.05. Municipal franchise fee or service provider fee review; requests for information.\n(a) If pursuant to its franchise agreement with a community antenna television system (CATV) operator, a municipality imposes a franchise fee authorized by 47 U.S.C. 542 or\r\nif\r\na\r\ncommunity\r\nantenna\r\ntelevision\r\nsystem\r\n(CATV)\r\noperator\r\nproviding\r\ncable\r\nor\r\nvideo\r\nservice\r\nin\r\nthat\r\nmunicipality\r\nis\r\nrequired\r\nto\r\npay\r\nthe\r\nservice\r\nprovider\r\nfees\r\nimposed\r\nby\r\nthe\r\nCable\r\nand\r\nVideo\r\nCompetition\r\nLaw\r\nof\r\n2007, then the municipality may conduct an audit of that CATV operator's franchise fees or service provider fees derived from the provision of cable and video services to subscribers within the franchise area to determine whether the amount of franchise fees or service provider fees paid by that CATV operator to the municipality was accurate. Any audit conducted under this subsection (a) shall determine, for a period of not more than 4 years after the date the franchise fees or service provider fees were due, any overpayment or underpayment to the municipality by the CATV operator, and the amount due to the municipality or CATV operator is limited to the net difference.\n(b) Not more than once every 2 years, a municipality or its agent that is authorized to perform an audit as set forth in subsection (a) of this Section may, subject to the limitations and protections stated in the Local Government Taxpayers' Bill of Rights Act, request information from the CATV operator in the format maintained by the CATV operator in the ordinary course of its business that the municipality reasonably requires in order to perform an audit under subsection (a). The information that may be requested by the municipality includes without limitation the following:\n(1) in an electronic format used by the CATV operator     in the ordinary course of its business, the database used by the CATV operator to determine the amount of the franchise fee or service provider fee due to the municipality; and\n(2) in a format used by the CATV operator in the     ordinary course of its business, summary data, as needed by the municipality, to determine the CATV operator's franchise fees or service provider fees derived from the provision of cable and video services to subscribers within the CATV operator's franchise area.\n(c) The CATV operator must provide the information requested under subsection (b) within:\n(1) 60 days after the receipt of the request if the     population of the requesting municipality is 500,000 or less; or\n(2) 90 days after the receipt of the request if the     population of the requesting municipality exceeds 500,000.\nThe time in which a CATV operator must provide the information requested under subsection (b) may be extended by written agreement between the municipality or its agent and the CATV operator.\n(c-5) The\r\nmunicipality\r\nor\r\nits\r\nagent\r\nmust\r\nprovide\r\nan\r\ninitial\r\nreport\r\nof\r\nits\r\naudit\r\nfindings\r\nto\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator\r\nno\r\nlater\r\nthan\r\n90\r\ndays\r\nafter\r\nthe\r\ninformation\r\nset\r\nforth\r\nin\r\nsubsection\r\n(b)\r\nof this Section has\r\nbeen\r\nprovided\r\nby\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator.\r\nThis\r\n90-day\r\ntimeline\r\nmay\r\nbe\r\nextended\r\none\r\ntime\r\nby\r\nwritten\r\nagreement\r\nbetween\r\nthe\r\nmunicipality\r\nor\r\nits\r\nagents\r\nand\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator.\r\nHowever,\r\nin\r\nno\r\nevent\r\nshall\r\nan\r\nextension\r\nof\r\ntime\r\nexceed\r\n90\r\ndays.\r\nThis\r\ninitial\r\nreport\r\nof\r\naudit\r\nfindings\r\nshall\r\ndetail\r\nthe\r\nbasis\r\nof\r\nits\r\nfindings\r\nand\r\nprovide,\r\nbut\r\nnot\r\nbe\r\nlimited\r\nto,\r\nthe\r\nfollowing\r\ninformation:\r\n(i)\r\nany\r\noverpayments\r\nof\r\nfranchise\r\nfees\r\nor\r\nservice\r\nprovider\r\nfees,\r\n(ii)\r\nany\r\nunderpayments\r\nof\r\nfranchise\r\nfees\r\nor\r\nservice\r\nprovider\r\nfees,\r\n(iii)\r\nthe complete list of all addresses within the corporate limits of the municipality for which the audit is being conducted, (iv) all\r\nmunicipal\r\naddresses\r\nthat\r\nshould\r\nbe\r\nincluded\r\nin\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator's\r\ndatabase\r\nand\r\nattributable\r\nto\r\nthat\r\nmunicipality\r\nfor\r\ndetermination\r\nof\r\nfranchise\r\nfees\r\nor\r\nservice\r\nprovider\r\nfees,\r\nand\r\n(v) \r\naddresses\r\nthat\r\nshould\r\nnot\r\nbe\r\nincluded\r\nin\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator's\r\ndatabase\r\nand\r\naddresses\r\nthat\r\nare\r\nnot\r\nattributable\r\nto\r\nthat\r\nmunicipality\r\nfor\r\ndetermination\r\nof\r\nfranchise\r\nfees\r\nor\r\nservice\r\nprovider\r\nfees.\r\nGenerally\r\naccepted\r\nauditing\r\nstandards\r\nshall\r\nbe\r\nutilized\r\nby\r\nthe\r\nmunicipality\r\nand\r\nits\r\nagents\r\nin\r\nits\r\nreview\r\nof\r\ninformation\r\nprovided\r\nby\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator.\n(c-10)\r\nIn\r\nthe\r\nevent\r\nthat\r\nthe\r\nmunicipality\r\nor\r\nits\r\nagent\r\ndoes\r\nnot\r\nprovide\r\nthe\r\ninitial\r\nreport\r\nof\r\nthe\r\naudit\r\nfindings\r\nto\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator\r\nwith\r\nthe\r\ntimeframes\r\nset\r\nforth\r\nin\r\nsubsection\r\n(c-5) of this Section,\r\nthen\r\nthe\r\naudit\r\nshall\r\nbe\r\ndeemed\r\ncompleted\r\nand\r\nto\r\nhave\r\nconclusively\r\nfound\r\nthat\r\nthere\r\nwas\r\nno\r\noverpayment\r\nor\r\nunderpayment\r\nby\r\nthe\r\nCATV\r\noperator\r\nfor the audit period.

Any such notice must be given to the CATV operator by the municipality or its agent within 90 days after the municipality or its agent discovers the error, and no later than 4 years after the date the franchise fee or service provider fee was due. Upon such a notice, the CATV operator must submit a written response within 60 days after receipt of the notice stating that the CATV operator has corrected the error on a prospective basis or stating the reason that the error is inapplicable or inaccurate. The municipality or its agent then has 60 days after the receipt of the CATV operator's response to review and contest the conclusion of the CATV operator. No legal proceeding to collect a deficiency or overpayment based upon an alleged error shall be commenced unless within 180 days after the municipality's notification of the error to the CATV operator the parties are unable to agree on the disposition of the audit findings.\nAny\r\nlegal\r\nproceeding\r\nto\r\ncollect\r\na\r\ndeficiency\r\nas\r\nset\r\nforth\r\nin\r\nthis subsection\r\n(d)\r\nshall\r\nbe\r\nfiled\r\nin\r\nthe\r\nappropriate\r\ncircuit\r\ncourt.\n(e) No CATV operator is liable for any error in past franchise fee or service provider fee payments that was unknown by the CATV operator prior to the audit process unless (i) the error was due to negligence on the part of the CATV operator in the collection or processing of required data and (ii) the municipality had not failed to respond in writing in a timely manner to any written request of the CATV operator to review and correct information used by the CATV operator to calculate the appropriate franchise fees or service provider fees if a diligent review of such information by the municipality reasonably could have been expected to discover such error.\n(f) All account specific information provided by a CATV operator under this Section may be used only for the purpose of an audit conducted under this Section and the enforcement of any franchise fee or service provider fee delinquent claim.

Division short title; declaration of public purpose. This Division 74.3 may be cited as the Business District Development and Redevelopment Law.\nIt is hereby found and declared:\n(1) It is essential to the economic and social welfare of\r\neach municipality that business districts be developed, redeveloped, improved, maintained, and revitalized, that jobs and opportunity for employment be created within the municipality, and that, if blighting conditions are present, blighting conditions be eradicated by\r\nassuring opportunities for development or redevelopment, encouraging private investment, and attracting\r\nsound and stable business and commercial growth. It is further found and determined that as a result of economic conditions unfavorable to the creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of certain business and commercial areas within municipalities opportunities for private investment and sound and stable commercial growth have been and will continue to be negatively impacted and business and commercial areas within many municipalities have deteriorated and will continue to deteriorate, thereby causing a serious menace to the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of the entire State, unemployment, a decline in tax revenues, excessive and disproportionate expenditure of public funds, inadequate public and private investment, the unmarketability of property, and the growth of delinquencies and crime.  In order to reduce threats to and to promote and protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the public and to provide incentives which will create employment and job opportunities, will retain commercial businesses in the State and related job opportunities and will eradicate blighting conditions if blighting conditions are present, and for the relief of unemployment and the maintenance of existing levels of employment, it is essential that plans for business districts be created and implemented and that business districts be created, developed, improved, maintained, and redeveloped.\n(2) The creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of business districts will stimulate economic activity in the State, create and maintain jobs, increase tax revenues, encourage the creation of new and lasting infrastructure, other improvements, and facilities, and cause the attraction and retention of businesses and commercial enterprises which generate economic activity and services and increase the general tax base, including, but not limited to, increased retail sales, hotel or restaurant sales, manufacturing sales, or entertainment industry sales, thereby increasing employment and economic growth.\n(3) It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State, in the interest of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of all the people of the State, to provide incentives which will create new job opportunities and retain existing commercial businesses within the State and related job opportunities, and it is further determined and declared that the relief of conditions of unemployment, the maintenance of existing levels of employment, the creation of new job opportunities, the retention of existing commercial businesses, the increase of industry and commerce within the State, the reduction of the evils attendant upon unemployment, and the increase and maintenance of the tax base of the State and its political subdivisions are public purposes and for the public safety, benefit, and welfare of the residents of this State.\n(4) The exercise of the powers provided in this Law is dedicated to the promotion of the public interest, to the enhancement of the tax base within business districts, municipalities, and the State and its political subdivisions, the creation of employment, and the eradication of blight, if present within the business district, and the use of such powers for the creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of business districts of a municipality is hereby declared to be for the public safety, benefit, and welfare of the residents of the State and essential to the public interest and declared to be for public purposes.\n(Source: P.A. 96-1394, eff. 7-29-10.)\n(65 ILCS 5/11-74.3-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.3-2)\nSec. 11-74.3-2.

Each notice published pursuant to this Section shall include the following:\n(1) The time and place of the public hearing;\n(2) The boundaries of the proposed business district     by legal description and, where possible, by street location;\n(3) A notification that all interested persons will     be given an opportunity to be heard at the public hearing;\n(4) A description of the business district plan if a     business district plan is a subject matter of the public hearing;\n(5) The rate of any tax to be imposed pursuant to     subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3;\n(6) An invitation for any person to submit alternate     proposals or bids for any proposed conveyance, lease, mortgage, or other disposition by the municipality of land or rights in land owned by the municipality and located within the proposed business district; and\n(7) Such other matters as the municipality shall deem     appropriate.\n(c) At the public hearing any interested person may file written objections with the municipal clerk and may be heard orally with respect to any matters embodied in the notice.  The municipality shall hear and determine all alternate proposals or bids for any proposed conveyance, lease, mortgage, or other disposition by the municipality of land or rights in land owned by the municipality and located within the proposed business district and all protests and objections at the hearing, provided, however, that the corporate authorities of the municipality may establish reasonable rules regarding the length of time provided to members of the general public.  The hearing may be adjourned to another date without further notice other than a motion to be entered upon the minutes fixing the time and place of the adjourned hearing.  Public hearings with regard to approval of a business district plan or designation of a business district may be held simultaneously.\n(d) At the public hearing or at any time prior to the adoption by the municipality of an ordinance approving a business district plan, the municipality may make changes in the business district plan.

Any ordinance adopted which approves a business district plan shall contain findings that the business district on the whole has not been subject to growth and development through investment by private enterprises and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed or redeveloped without the adoption of the business district plan.  Any ordinance adopted which designates a business district shall contain the boundaries of such business district by legal description and, where possible, by street location, a finding that the business district plan conforms to the comprehensive plan for the development of the municipality as a whole, or, for municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more, regardless of when the business district plan was approved, the business district plan either (i) conforms to the strategic economic development or redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning authority or the municipality or (ii) includes land uses that have been approved by the planning commission of the municipality, and, for any business district in which the municipality intends to impose taxes as provided in subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3, a specific finding that the business district qualifies as a blighted area as defined in Section 11-74.3-5.\n(f) After a municipality has by ordinance approved a business district plan and designated a business district, the plan may be amended, the boundaries of the business district may be altered, and the taxes provided for in subsections (10) and (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 may be imposed or altered only as provided in this subsection.  Changes which do not (i) alter the exterior boundaries of the proposed business district, (ii) substantially affect the general land uses described in the business district plan, (iii) substantially change the nature of any business district project, (iv) change the description of any developer, user, or tenant of any property to be located or improved within the proposed business district, (v) increase the total estimated business district project costs set out in the business district plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from the date the business district plan was approved, (vi) add additional business district costs to the itemized list of estimated business district costs as approved in the business district plan, or (vii) impose or increase the rate of any tax to be imposed pursuant to subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 may be made by the municipality without further public hearing, provided the municipality shall give notice of its changes by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the municipality.

The General Assembly makes the following findings:\n(1) Early childhood education and care is an     essential part of our State's economy and infrastructure, providing the backbone that allows for parents and guardians to seek and maintain employment in industries across the State.\n(2) Further, research shows that participation in     quality early childhood education and care  supports children's development, serves as a protective factor from trauma, increases school readiness, lowers future health care costs, and increases employment options and earnings.\n(3) The State of Illinois funds early childhood     education programs through the Illinois State Board of Education and the Department of Human Services for families seeking services aimed at improving the early development of children from the prenatal stage to 5 years of age. Similar programs are also licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services.\n(4) These agencies administer evidence-based     home-visiting programs with doula enhancements, Early Intervention services, the Prevention Initiative program, the Preschool for All program, and the Child Care Assistance Program.\n(5) The cost to provide child care and early learning     in the private market in Illinois is more than parents can afford, as it is more expensive in many communities than the cost of annual tuition and fees at a 4-year postsecondary institution.\n(6) Child care providers' revenues are insufficient,     only allowing child care providers to pay minimum  wage.  That is less than 98% of all other jobs in the economy.\n(7) Workforce compensation in other early childhood     programs is also not adequate to attract and retain qualified staff. This problem is especially acute for those working with infants and toddlers.\n(8) Illinois faces an early childhood educator     workforce shortage, which stifles and artificially limits the supply of early childhood programs necessary for parents and guardians to go to work and school, thereby stifling economic growth in the State to an estimated cost of $2,400,000,000 annually. This is especially true for mothers, who often decide to stay home due to the exorbitant cost and inaccessibility of care.\n(9) Illinois also faces a shortage of high-quality     early childhood education and care options in communities across the State, limiting access to services for families. The shortage is particularly acute for infant-toddler care, as there is only capacity for 17.4% of the State's infants and toddlers within licensed child care facilities.\n(10) In recent years, the State of Illinois has     expanded access to the Child Care Assistance Program by raising the income eligibility threshold and making program policies more inclusive and has supported provider sustainability by significantly raising Child Care Assistance Program reimbursement rates. In addition, the State of Illinois has invested over $1,000,000,000 in federal pandemic relief funding in child care service providers to ensure that they could remain open and serve families and children in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, and so that staff could continue to be paid.\n(11) However, beyond these federal relief funds,     current public levers are unable to sustainably address the early childhood educator workforce shortage or the inadequate early childhood education and care supply to meet parent and guardian needs.

Accordingly, it is the policy of the\r\nparty states and the purpose of this agreement to encourage the expeditious\r\nand orderly disposition of such charges and determination of the proper\r\nstatus of any and all detainers based on untried indictments, informations\r\nor complaints. The party states also find that proceedings with reference\r\nto such charges and detainers, when emanating from another jurisdiction,\r\ncannot properly be had in the absence of cooperative procedures. It is the\r\nfurther purpose of this agreement to provide such cooperative procedures.\nARTICLE II\nAs used in this agreement:\n(a) \"State\" shall mean a state of the United States; the United States\r\nof America; a territory or possession of the United States; the District of\r\nColumbia; the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.\n(b) \"Sending state\" shall mean a state in which a prisoner is\r\nincarcerated at the time that he initiates a request for final disposition\r\npursuant to Article III hereof or at the time that a request for custody or\r\navailability is initiated pursuant to Article IV hereof.\n(c) \"Receiving state\" shall mean the state in which trial is to be had\r\non an indictment, information or complaint pursuant to Article III or\r\nArticle IV hereof.\nARTICLE III\n(a) Whenever a person has entered upon a term of imprisonment in a penal\r\nor correctional institution of a party state, and whenever during the\r\ncontinuance of the term of imprisonment there is pending in any other party\r\nstate any untried indictment, information or complaint on the basis of\r\nwhich a detainer has been lodged against the prisoner, he shall be\r\nbrought to trial within 180 days after he shall have caused to\r\nbe delivered to the\r\nprosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer's\r\njurisdiction written notice of the place of his imprisonment and his\r\nrequest for a final disposition to be made of the indictment, information\r\nor complaint: provided that for a good cause shown in open court, the\r\nprisoner or his counsel being present, the court having jurisdiction of the\r\nmatter may grant any necessary or reasonable continuance.

Current workplace laws are inadequate to protect pregnant women from being forced out or fired when they need a simple, reasonable accommodation in order to stay on the job.

It is the intent of the General Assembly by this act to combat pregnancy discrimination, promote public health, and ensure full and equal participation for women in the labor force by requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees for medical needs arising from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Current workplace laws are inadequate to protect pregnant women from being forced out or fired when they need a simple, reasonable accommodation in order to stay on the job. Many pregnant women are single mothers or the primary breadwinners for their families; if they lose their jobs then the whole family will suffer. This is not an outcome that families can afford in today's difficult economy.\"\n\"SECTION 5. The South Carolina Human Affairs Commission may promulgate regulations to carry out this act, provided the regulations do not exceed the definition of 'reasonable accommodation' requirements for employers under federal or state law. These regulations may identify some reasonable accommodations addressing medical needs arising from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions that must be provided to a job applicant or employee affected by these known limitations, unless the employer can demonstrate that doing so would impose an undue hardship.\n\"SECTION 6.

The reference in subsection (a) to the \"context\" is intended to refer to the context in which the defined term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code. In other words, the definition applies whenever the defined term is used unless the context in which the defined term is used in the statute indicates that the term was not used in its defined sense. Consider, for example, Sections 3-103(a)(9) (defining \"promise,\" in relevant part, as \"a written undertaking to pay money signed by the person undertaking to pay\") and 3-303(a)(1) (indicating that an instrument is issued or transferred for value if \"the instrument is issued or transferred for a promise of performance, to the extent that the promise has been performed.\") It is clear from the statutory context of the use of the word \"promise\" in Section 3-303(a)(1) that the term was not used in the sense of its definition in Section 3-103(a)(9). Thus, the Section 3-103(a)(9) definition should not be used to give meaning to the word \"promise\" in Section 3-303(a).\nSome definitions in former Section 1-201 have been reformulated as substantive provisions and have been moved to other sections. See Sections 1-202 (explicating concepts of notice and knowledge formerly addressed in Sections 1-201(25)-(27)), 1-204 (determining when a person gives value for rights, replacing the definition of \"value\" in former Section 1-201(44)), and 1-206 (addressing the meaning of presumptions, replacing the definitions of \"presumption\" and \"presumed\" in former Section 1-201(31)). Similarly, the portion of the definition of \"security interest\" in former Section 1-201(37) which explained the difference between a security interest and a lease has been relocated to Section 1-203.\nTwo definitions in former Section 1-201 have been deleted. The definition of \"honor\" in former Section 1-201(21) has been moved to Section 2-103(1)(b), inasmuch as the definition only applies to the use of the word in Article 2. The definition of \"telegram\" in former Section 1-201(41) has been deleted because that word no longer appears in the definition of \"conspicuous.\"\nOther than minor stylistic changes and renumbering, the remaining definitions in this section are as in former Article 1 except as noted below.\n1. \"Action.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201, which was derived from similar definitions in Section 191, Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law; Section 76, Uniform Sales Act; Section 58, Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act; Section 53, Uniform Bills of Lading Act.\n2. \"Aggrieved party.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n3. \"Agreement.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. As used in the Uniform Commercial Code the word is intended to include full recognition of usage of trade, course of dealing, course of performance and the surrounding circumstances as effective parts thereof, and of any agreement permitted under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code to displace a stated rule of law. Whether an agreement has legal consequences is determined by applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and, to the extent provided in Section 1-103, by the law of contracts.\n4. \"Bank.\" Derived from Section 4A-104.\n5. \"Bearer.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201, which was derived from Section 191, Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law.\n6. \"Bill of Lading.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. The reference to, and definition of, an \"airbill\" has been deleted as no longer necessary.\n7. \"Branch.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n8. \"Burden of establishing a fact.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n9. \"Buyer in ordinary course of business.\" Except for minor stylistic changes, identical to former Section 1-201 (as amended in conjunction with the 1999 revisions to Article 9). The major significance of the phrase lies in Section 2-403 and in the Article on Secured Transactions (Article 9).\nThe first sentence of paragraph (9) makes clear that a buyer from a pawnbroker cannot be a buyer in ordinary course of business. The second sentence explains what it means to buy \"in the ordinary course.\" The penultimate sentence prevents a buyer that does not have the right to possession as against the seller from being a buyer in ordinary course of business. Concerning when a buyer obtains possessory rights, see Sections 2-502 and 2-716. However, the penultimate sentence is not intended to affect a buyer's status as a buyer in ordinary course of business in cases (such as a \"drop shipment\") involving delivery by the seller to a person buying from the buyer or a donee from the buyer. The requirement relates to whether as against the seller the buyer or one taking through the buyer has possessory rights.\n10. \"Conspicuous.\" Derived from former Section 1-201(10). This definition states the general standard that to be conspicuous a term ought to be noticed by a reasonable person. Whether a term is conspicuous is an issue for the court. Subparagraphs (A) and (B) set out several methods for making a term conspicuous. Requiring that a term be conspicuous blends a notice function (the term ought to be noticed) and a planning function (giving guidance to the party relying on the term regarding how that result can be achieved). Although these paragraphs indicate some of the methods for making a term attention-calling, the test is whether attention can reasonably be expected to be called to it. The statutory language should not be construed to permit a result that is inconsistent with that test.\n11. \"Consumer.\" Derived from Section 9-102(a)(25).\n12. \"Contract.\" Except for minor stylistic changes, identical to former Section 1-201.\n13. \"Creditor.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n14. \"Defendant.\" Except for minor stylistic changes, identical to former Section 1-201, which was derived from Section 76, Uniform Sales Act.\n15. \"Delivery.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. The reference to certificated securities has been deleted in light of the more specific treatment of the matter in Section 8-301.\n16. \"Document of title.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201, which was derived from Section 76, Uniform Sales Act. By making it explicit that the obligation or designation of a third party as \"bailee\" is essential to a document of title, this definition clearly rejects any such result as obtained in Hixson v. Ward, 254 Ill.App. 505 (1929), which treated a conditional sales contract as a document of title. Also the definition is left open so that new types of documents may be included. It is unforeseeable what documents may one day serve the essential purpose now filled by warehouse receipts and bills of lading. Truck transport has already opened up problems which do not fit the patterns of practice resting upon the assumption that a draft can move through banking channels faster than the goods themselves can reach their destination. There lie ahead air transport and such probabilities as teletype transmission of what may some day be regarded commercially as \"Documents of Title.\" The definition is stated in terms of the function of the documents with the intention that any document which gains commercial recognition as accomplishing the desired result shall be included within its scope. Fungible goods are adequately identified within the language of the definition by identification of the mass of which they are a part.\nDock warrants were within the Sales Act definition of document of title apparently for the purpose of recognizing a valid tender by means of such paper. In current commercial practice a dock warrant or receipt is a kind of interim certificate issued by steamship companies upon delivery of the goods at the dock, entitling a designated person to have issued to him at the company's office a bill of lading. The receipt itself is invariably nonnegotiable in form although it may indicate that a negotiable bill is to be forthcoming. Such a document is not within the general compass of the definition, although trade usage may in some cases entitle such paper to be treated as a document of title. If the dock receipt actually represents a storage obligation undertaken by the shipping company, then it is a warehouse receipt within this section regardless of the name given to the instrument.\nThe goods must be \"described,\" but the description may be by marks or labels and may be qualified in such a way as to disclaim personal knowledge of the issuer regarding contents or condition. However, baggage and parcel checks and similar \"tokens\" of storage which identify stored goods only as those received in exchange for the token are not covered by this Article.\nThe definition is broad enough to include an airway bill.\n17. \"Fault.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. \"Default\" has been added to the list of events constituting fault.\n18. \"Fungible goods.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. References to securities have been deleted because Article 8 no longer uses the term \"fungible\" to describe securities. Accordingly, this provision now defines the concept only in the context of goods.\n19. \"Genuine.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n20. \"Good faith.\" Former Section 1-201(19) defined \"good faith\" simply as honesty in fact; the definition contained no element of commercial reasonableness. Initially, that definition applied throughout the Code with only one exception. Former Section 2-103(1)(b) provided that, in that Article, \"good faith\" in the case of a merchant means honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing in the trade. This alternative definition was limited in applicability, though, because it applied only to transactions within the scope of Article 2 and it applied only to merchants.\nOver time, however, amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code brought the Article 2 merchant concept of good faith (subjective honesty and objective commercial reasonableness) into other Articles. First, Article 2A explicitly incorporated the Article 2 standard. See Section 2A-103(7). Then, other Articles broadened the applicability of that standard by adopting it for all parties rather than just for merchants. See, e.g., Sections 3-103(a)(4), 4A-105(a)(6), 7-102(a)(6), 8-102(a)(10), and 9-102(a)(43). Finally, Articles 2 and 2A were amended so as to apply the standard to non-merchants as well as merchants. See Sections 2-103(1)(j), 2A-103(1)(m). All of these definitions are comprised of two elements-honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing. Only revised Article 5 defines \"good faith\" solely in terms of subjective honesty, and only Article 6 (in the few states that have not chosen to delete the Article) is without a definition of good faith. (It should be noted that, while revised Article 6 did not define good faith, Comment 2 to revised Section 6-102 states that \"this Article adopts the definition of 'good faith' in Article 1 in all cases, even when the buyer is a merchant.\")\nThus, the definition of \"good faith\" in this section merely confirms what has been the case for a number of years as Articles of the UCC have been amended or revised-the obligation of \"good faith,\" applicable in each Article, is to be interpreted in the context of all Articles except for Article 5 as including both the subjective element of honesty in fact and the objective element of the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing. As a result, both the subjective and objective elements are part of the standard of \"good faith,\" whether that obligation is specifically referenced in another Article of the Code (other than Article 5) or is provided by this Article.\nOf course, as noted in the statutory text, the definition of \"good faith\" in this section does not apply when the narrower definition of \"good faith\" in revised Article 5 is applicable.\nAs noted above, the definition of \"good faith\" in this section requires not only honesty in fact but also \"observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.\" Although \"fair dealing\" is a broad term that must be defined in context, it is clear that it is concerned with the fairness of conduct rather than the care with which an act is performed. This is an entirely different concept than whether a party exercised ordinary care in conducting a transaction. Both concepts are to be determined in the light of reasonable commercial standards, but those standards in each case are directed to different aspects of commercial conduct. See e.g., Sections 3-103(a)(9) and 4-104(c) and Comment 4 to Section 3-103.\n21. \"Holder.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. The definition has been reorganized for clarity.\n22. \"Insolvency proceedings.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n23. \"Insolvent.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. The three tests of insolvency-\"generally ceased to pay debts in the ordinary course of business other than as a result of a bona fide dispute as to them,\" \"unable to pay debts as they become due,\" and \"insolvent within the meaning of the federal bankruptcy law\" are expressly set up as alternative tests and must be approached from a commercial standpoint.\n24. \"Money.\" Substantively identical to former Section 1-201. The test is that of sanction of government, whether by authorization before issue or adoption afterward, which recognizes the circulating medium as a part of the official currency of that government. The narrow view that money is limited to legal tender is rejected.\n25. \"Organization.\" The former definition of this word has been replaced with the standard definition used in acts prepared by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.\n26. \"Party.\" Substantively identical to former Section 1-201. Mention of a party includes, of course, a person acting through an agent. However, where an agent comes into opposition or contrast to the principal, particular account is taken of that situation.\n27. \"Person.\" The former definition of this word has been replaced with the standard definition used in acts prepared by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.\n28. \"Present value.\" This definition was formerly contained within the definition of \"security interest\" in former Section 1-201(37).\n29. \"Purchase.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. The form of definition has been changed from \"includes\" to \"means.\"\n30. \"Purchaser.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n31. \"Record.\" Derived from Section 9-102(a)(69).\n32. \"Remedy.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201. The purpose is to make it clear that both remedy and right (as defined) include those remedial rights of \"self help\" which are among the most important bodies of rights under the Uniform Commercial Code, remedial rights being those to which an aggrieved party may resort on its own.\n33. \"Representative.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. Reorganized, and form changed from \"includes\" to \"means.\"\n34. \"Right.\" Except for minor stylistic changes, identical to former Section 1-201.\n35. \"Security Interest.\" The definition is the first paragraph of the definition of \"security interest\" in former Section 1-201, with minor stylistic changes. The remaining portion of that definition has been moved to Section 1-203. Note that, because of the scope of Article 9, the term includes the interest of certain outright buyers of certain kinds of property.\n36. \"Send.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. Compare \"notifies\".\n37. \"Signed.\" Derived from former Section 1-201. Former Section 1-201 referred to \"intention to authenticate\"; because other articles now use the term \"authenticate,\" the language has been changed to \"intention to adopt or accept.\" The latter formulation is derived from the definition of \"authenticate\" in Section 9-102(a)(7). This provision refers only to writings, because the term \"signed,\" as used in some articles, refers only to writings. This provision also makes it clear that, as the term \"signed\" is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, a complete signature is not necessary. The symbol may be printed, stamped or written; it may be by initials or by thumbprint. It may be on any part of the document and in appropriate cases may be found in a billhead or letterhead. No catalog of possible situations can be complete and the court must use common sense and commercial experience in passing upon these matters. The question always is whether the symbol was executed or adopted by the party with present intention to adopt or accept the writing.\n38. \"State.\" This is the standard definition of the term used in acts prepared by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.\n39. \"Surety.\" This definition makes it clear that \"surety\" includes all secondary obligors,not just those whose obligation refers to the person obligated as a surety. As to the nature of secondary obligations generally, see Restatement (Third), Suretyship and Guaranty Section 1 (1996).\n40. \"Term.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n41. \"Unauthorized signature.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\n42. \"Warehouse receipt.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201, which was derived from Section 76(1), Uniform Sales Act; Section 1, Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act. Receipts issued by a field warehouse are included, provided the warehouseman and the depositor of the goods are different persons.\n43. \"Written\" or \"writing.\" Unchanged from former Section 1-201.\nSOUTH CAROLINA REPORTER'S COMMENTS\nThis section contains a number of general definitions applicable throughout the Code. Whenever necessary or appropriate, the South Carolina Reporter's Comments will refer to these definitions under the sections to which they relate.\nNotes to 1988 Amendment.\nThe only changes made in this section by the 1972 Text are in subsections (9) and (37). The new language in subsection (9) fits in with changes as to minerals in Section 9-103 which are explained in the references to minerals in the Official Comments and South Carolina Reporter's Notes to that section. The omission of the term \"contract rights\" in subsection (37) conforms to the elimination of that term from Article 9 in the 1972 Text. See the South Carolina Reporter's Notes to Section 9-106.\nComments to 1991 Amendment.\nSubsections (5), (14) and (20) were amended in 1991 to distinguish securities represented by certificates (\"certificated securities\") from those not so represented.

A \"carrier\" is one type of bailee and is defined as a person that issues a bill of lading. A \"shipper\" is a person who enters into the contract of transportation with the carrier. The definitions of \"bailee,\" \"consignee,\" \"consignor,\" \"goods\", and \"issuer\", are unchanged in substance from prior law. \"Document of title\" is defined in Article 1, and may be in either tangible or electronic form.\n2. The definition of warehouse receipt contained in the general definitions section of this Act (Section 1-201) does not require that the issuing warehouse be \"lawfully engaged\" in business or for profit. The warehouse's compliance with applicable state regulations such as the filing of a bond has no bearing on the substantive issues dealt with in this Article. Certainly the issuer's violations of law should not diminish its responsibility on documents the issuer has put in commercial circulation. But it is still essential that the business be storing goods \"for hire\" (Section 1-201 and this section). A person does not become a warehouse by storing its own goods.\n3. When a delivery order has been accepted by the bailee it is for practical purposes indistinguishable from a warehouse receipt. Prior to such acceptance there is no basis for imposing obligations on the bailee other than the ordinary obligation of contract which the bailee may have assumed to the depositor of the goods. Delivery orders may be either electronic or tangible documents of title. See definition of \"document of title\" in Section 1-201.\n4. The obligation of good faith imposed by this Article and by Article 1, Section 1-304 includes the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.\n5. The definitions of \"record\" and \"sign\" are included to facilitate electronic mediums. See comment 9 to Section 9-102 discussing \"record\" and the comment to amended Section 2-103 discussing \"sign.\"\n6. \"Person entitled under the document\" is moved from former Section 7-403.\n7. These definitions apply in this Article unless the context otherwise requires. The \"context\" is intended to refer to the context in which the defined term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code. The definition applies whenever the defined term is used unless the context in which the defined term is used in the statute indicates that the term was not used in its defined sense.

This section does not displace any particular legislation that requires other terms in a warehouse receipt or that may require a particular form of a warehouse receipt. This section does not require that a warehouse receipt be issued. A warehouse receipt that is issued need not contain any of the terms listed in subsection (b) in order to qualify as a warehouse receipt as long as the receipt falls within the definition of \"warehouse receipt\" in Article 1. Thus the title has been changed to eliminate the phrase \"essential terms\" as provided in prior law. The only consequence of a warehouse receipt not containing any term listed in subsection (b) is that a person injured by a term's omission has a right as against the warehouse for harm caused by the omission. Cases, such as In re Celotex Corp., 134 B. R. 993 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 1991), that held that in order to have a valid warehouse receipt all of the terms listed in this section must be contained in the receipt, are disapproved.\n2. The unique identification code referred to in subsection (b)(3) can include any combination of letters, number, signs, and/or symbols that provide a unique identification. Whether an electronic or tangible warehouse receipt contains a signature will be resolved with the definition of sign in Section 7-102.\nCross References: Sections 7-103 and 7-401.\nDefinitional Cross References:\n\"Bearer\".

-{"instruction": "What is the content of Alabama Code Section 36-7-105?", "response": "The issuer is liable for damages caused by its overissue or failure to identify a duplicate document as such by conspicuous notation.\nHISTORY: 1962 Code Section 10.7-402; 1966 (54) 2716; 2014 Act No. 213 (S.343), Section 2, eff October 1, 2014.\nOFFICIAL COMMENT\nPrior Uniform Statutory Provision: Former Section 7-402.\nChanges: Changes to accommodate electronic documents.\nPurposes:\n1. This section treats a duplicate which is not properly identified as a duplicate like any other overissue of documents: a purchaser of such a document acquires no title but only a cause of action for damages against the person that made the deception possible, except in the cases noted in the section. But parts of a tangible bill lawfully issued in a set of parts are not \"overissue\" (Section 7-304). Of course, if the issuer has clearly indicated that a document is a duplicate so that no one can be deceived by it, and in fact the duplicate is a correct copy of the original, the issuer is not liable for preparing and delivering such a duplicate copy.\nSection 7-105 allows documents of title to be reissued in another medium. Re-issuance of a document in an alternative medium under Section 7-105 requires that the original document be surrendered to the issuer in order to make the substitute document the effective document. If the substitute document is not issued in compliance with section 7-105, then the document should be treated as a duplicate under this section.\n2. The section applies to nonnegotiable documents to the extent of providing an action for damages for one who acquires an unmarked duplicate from a transferor who knew the facts and would therefore have had no cause of action against the issuer of the duplicate. Ordinarily the transferee of a nonnegotiable document acquires only the rights of its transferor.\n3. Overissue is defined so as to exclude the common situation where two valid documents of different issuers are outstanding for the same goods at the same time. Thus freight forwarders commonly issue bills of lading to their customers for small shipments to be combined into carload shipments for which the railroad will issue a bill of lading to the forwarder. So also a warehouse receipt may be outstanding against goods, and the holder of the receipt may issue delivery orders against the same goods. In these cases dealings with the subsequently issued documents may be effective to transfer title; e.g. negotiation of a delivery order will effectively transfer title in the ordinary case where no dishonesty has occurred and the goods are available to satisfy the orders. Section 7-503 provides for cases of conflict between documents of different issuers.\nCross References:\nPoint 1: Sections 7-105, 7-207, 7-304, and 7-601.\nPoint 3: Section 7-503.\nDefinitional Cross References:\n\"Bill of lading\".

If the proposed closing fee exceeds two hundred twenty-five dollars, the department may review the amount of the closing fee for reasonableness using the criteria in item (5).\n(3) If the department intends to conduct a formal review of a proposed closing fee, the department shall provide written notice to the dealer of the department's intention to review the proposed closing fee within fifteen days of receiving the complete proposed closing fee notice. If the department determines that a proposed closing fee is not reasonable, the department shall issue a written order detailing the department's findings within thirty days of receiving the complete proposed closing fee notice. If the department does not provide the dealer with written notice of the department's approval of the proposed closing fee within thirty days of receiving the proposed closing fee notice, the dealer is authorized to charge the proposed closing fee.\n(4) The dealer is at all times authorized to submit a new closing fee that is equal to or less than two hundred twenty-five dollars per vehicle which is not subject to review. If the department finds that a proposed closing fee is not reasonable, the dealer may request a hearing in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. During the pendency of the department's review period, or the pendency of any action before the Administrative Law Court, the dealer is authorized to charge a closing fee at an amount not to exceed the amount most recently on file and permitted to be charged by the department.\n(5)(a) In determining the reasonableness of a closing fee, the department shall accept and allow all of the dealer's actual costs and expenses including, but not limited to, employee compensation, information processing, facilities costs, supplies, and materials associated with the following closing and delivery activities:\n(i) closing the motor vehicle sale or lease transaction, including any associated loan or lease and transferring title of the motor vehicle to the consumer;\n(ii) delivering the motor vehicle to the consumer;\n(iii) complying with all state, federal, and lender requirements;\n(iv) preparing, storing, and retrieving transaction documents; and\n(v) protecting the private personal information of the consumer.\n(b) Dealer costs must be calculated using generally accepted cost accounting principles for the preceding twelve-month period.\n(c) In determining the reasonableness of a closing fee, the department may compare a particular dealer's costs only with other similarly situated dealers.\n(D) Whether the vehicle transaction is a credit sale, consumer lease, or cash transaction:\n(1) notwithstanding any other provision of law, a dealer who complies with this section and any regulation promulgated under it and who charges a closing fee is not engaging in any action which is arbitrary, in bad faith, unconscionable, an unfair or deceptive practice, or an unfair method of competition for purposes of Sections 56-15-30, 56-15-40, and 39-5-20 with regard to the charging of a closing fee and may lawfully charge a closing fee;\n(2) a dealer may assert any defenses provided to a creditor pursuant to the provisions of this title; and\n(3) a purchaser injured or damaged by an action of a dealer in violation of this section or any regulation promulgated thereunder, may assert the remedies available pursuant to the provisions of this title.\n(E)(1) The department shall administer and enforce the subject of motor vehicle dealer closing fees as limited by this section.

This written notice must contain sufficient information for the dealer to identify documents related to the alleged violation, request only such information as is reasonably related to the alleged violation, and state that the dealer may provide a written response to the allegation.\n(b) The dealer must respond to the department's notice within forty-five days from the date the written notice described in item (3)(a) was received via certified mail. If a dealer fails to provide the requested information within sixty days from the date of receipt of the written notice via certified mail, the department may commence a proceeding pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act.\n(c) The department must issue a decision within fifteen days of receipt of the requested information from the dealer. If the department determines the dealer failed to comply with the requirements of this section or of this title regarding closing fees, the department's decision must determine if the violation was either (1) not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error, or (2) an intentional violation.\n(i) In the event of a violation that was not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error, the dealer must refund any excess charge paid by the consumer. The department must close the investigation upon notice that the consumer received the refund.\n(ii) In the event of an intentional violation, the department may request only those records reasonably related to the alleged violation for the ten transactions immediately preceding and the ten transactions immediately after the transaction identified in the complaint or other credible evidence received by the department. If the department discovers a potential violation of any kind related to closing fees in any of these transactions, the department may request only those records reasonably related to the alleged violation for transactions occurring on the date of the transaction identified in the complaint or other credible evidence, and transactions thirty days immediately preceding and thirty days immediately after the transaction identified in the complaint or other credible evidence received by the department.\n(4) A dealer may not be held liable in any action for a violation of this section or a violation of this title regarding closing fees if the dealer (a) shows by a preponderance of evidence that the violation was not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error notwithstanding the maintenance of procedures reasonably adapted to avoid the error; and (b) the dealer refunded any excess charge paid by the consumer.\n(5) A dealer who is found to have intentionally violated this section, or any other provision in this title regarding closing fees, must refund any excess charge paid by the customer within thirty days from the date of written notice from the department regarding its determination of a violation. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the following remedies also apply for an intentional violation:\n(a) for the first violation in a twelve-month period, the department must send a written warning to the dealer;\n(b) for a second violation in a twelve-month period, the department may charge a five hundred dollar administrative penalty;\n(c) for a third violation in a twelve-month period, the department may charge not more than a one thousand dollar administrative penalty; and\n(d) for a fourth or subsequent violation in a twelve-month period, the department may charge not more than a five thousand dollar administrative penalty, provided that cumulative administrative penalties shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars in the twelve-month period.\n(F)(1) It is the intent of the General Assembly to authorize a motor vehicle dealer to charge a closing fee in compliance with this section and to protect a motor vehicle dealer from civil liability for charging a closing fee if the fee is charged in compliance with this title and any Department of Consumer Affairs regulation or administrative interpretation. It is further the intent to protect consumers by the disclosure and notice provisions established in this section and with the remedies provided by this title.\n(2) Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit the department from administering and enforcing other laws under the department's jurisdiction.\nHISTORY: 2000 Act No. 387, Part II, Section 82; 2016 Act No. 231 (H.4548), Section 1, eff June 3, 2016; 2023 Act No. 45 (H.3952), Section 1, eff May 16, 2023.\nEditor's Note\n2016 Act No. 231, Section 2, provides as follows:\n\"SECTION 2.

The director or his designee may require additional material and information necessary to determine whether the proposed acquisition, if consummated, violates the competitive standard of subsection (D). The required information may include an opinion of an economist as to the competitive impact of the acquisition in this State accompanied by a summary of the education and experience of the person indicating ability to render an informed opinion.\n(3) The required waiting period begins on the date of receipt of the department of a preacquisition notification and ends on the earlier of the thirtieth day after the date of receipt or termination of the waiting period by the Director or his designee. Before the end of the waiting period, the director or his designee on a one-time basis may require the submission of additional needed information relevant to the proposed acquisition. If he does, the waiting period ends on the earlier of the thirtieth day after receipt of the additional information by the department or termination of the waiting period by the director or his designee.\n(D)(1) The director or his designee may enter an order under subsection (E) (1) with respect to an acquisition if there is substantial evidence that the effect of the acquisition may be to lessen competition substantially in a line of insurance in this State or tend to create a monopoly or if the insurer fails to file adequate information in compliance with subsection (C).\n(2) In determining whether a proposed acquisition violates the competitive standard of item (1), the director or his designee shall consider the following:\n(a) An acquisition covered under subsection (B) involving two or more insurers competing in the same market is prima facie evidence of a violation of the competitive standards:\n(i) if the market is highly concentrated and the involved insurers possess the following shares of the market:\nInsurer A Insurer B 4% 4% or more 10% 2% or more 15% 1% or more\n(ii) if the market is not highly concentrated and the involved insurers possess the following shares of the market:\nInsurer A Insurer B 5% 5% or more 10% 4% or more 15% 3% or more 19% 1% or more\nA highly concentrated market is one of which the share of the four largest insurers is seventy-five percent or more of the market. Percentages not shown in the tables are interpolated proportionately to the percentages that are shown. If more than two insurers are involved, exceeding the total of the two columns in the table is prima facie evidence of violation of the competitive standard in item (1). For the purpose of this item, the insurer with the largest share of the market is Insurer A.\n(b) It must be determined whether there is a significant trend toward increased concentration in the market. The trend exists when the aggregate market share of a grouping of the largest insurers in the market, from the two largest to the eight largest, has increased by seven percent or more of the market over time extending from a base year five to ten years before the acquisition up to the time of the acquisition. An acquisition or merger covered under subsection (B) involving two or more insurers competing in the same market is prima facie evidence of a violation of the competitive standard in item (1) if all of the following exist:\n(i) There is a significant trend toward increased concentration in the market.\n(ii) One of the insurers involved is one of the insurers in a grouping of the large insurers showing the requisite increase in the market share.\n(iii) Another involved insurer's market is two percent or more.\n(c) Even though an acquisition is not prima facie violative of the competitive standard under this item, the director or his designee may establish the requisite anticompetitive effect based upon other substantial evidence. Even though an acquisition is prima facie violative of the competitive standard under this item, a party may establish the absence of the requisite anticompetitive effect based upon other substantial evidence. Relevant factors in making a determination include, but are not limited to: market shares, volatility of the ranking of market leaders, number of competitors, concentration, trend of concentration in the industry, and ease of entry and exit into the market.\n(d) For the purpose of this item:\n(i) \"Insurer\" includes a company or group of companies under common management, ownership, or control.\n(ii) \"Market\" means the relevant product and geographical markets. In determining the relevant product and geographical markets the director or his designee shall give due consideration to the definitions or guidelines, if any, promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and to information, if any, submitted by parties to the acquisition. In the absence of sufficient information to the contrary, the relevant product market is assumed to be the direct written insurance premium for a line of business. The line is that used in the annual statement required to be filed by insurers doing business in this State, and the relevant geographical market is assumed to be this State.\n(iii) The burden of showing prima facie evidence of a violation of the competitive standard rests upon the director or his designee.\n(3) An order must not be entered under subsection (E)(1) if the acquisition will:\n(a) yield substantial economies of scale or economies in resource utilization that cannot be achieved feasibly in another way, and the public benefits which would arise from the economies exceed the public benefits which would arise from not lessening competition; or\n(b) substantially increase the availability of insurance, and the public benefits of the increase exceed the public benefits which would arise from not lessening competition.\n(E)(1)(a) If an acquisition violates the standards of this section, the director or his designee may enter an order:\n(i) requiring an involved insurer to stop doing business in this State with respect to the line or lines of insurance involved in the violation; or\n(ii) denying the application of an acquired or acquiring insurer for a license to do business in this State.\n(b) An order must not be entered unless all of the following exist:\n(i) There is a hearing.\n(ii) Notice of the hearing is issued before the end of the waiting period and not less than fifteen days before the hearing.\n(iii) The hearing is concluded and the order is issued no later than sixty days after the end of the waiting period. An order must be accompanied by a written decision of the director or his designee setting forth his findings of fact and conclusions of law.\n(c) An order does not become final earlier than thirty days after it is issued. Before it becomes final the involved insurer may submit a plan to remedy the anticompetitive impact of the acquisition within a reasonable time. Based upon the plan or other information, the director or his designee shall specify the conditions, if any, under the time period during which the aspects of the acquisition causing a violation of the standards of this section would be remedied and the order vacated or modified.\n(d) An order does not apply if the acquisition is not consummated.\n(2) A person who violates an order under item (1), while the order is in effect, after notice and hearing, and upon order of the director or his designee, is subject at his discretion to one or more of the following:\n(a) monetary penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars for each day of violation;\n(b) suspension or revocation of license.\n(3) An insurer or other person who fails to make a filing required by this section and who fails to demonstrate a good faith effort to comply with a filing requirement is subject to a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars.\n(F) Sections 38-21-320, 38-21-330, and 38-21-350 do not apply to acquisitions under subsection (B).\nHISTORY: 1991 Act No. 13, Section 2; 1993 Act No. 181, Section 571; 2015 Act No. 2 (S.342), Section 8, eff March 9, 2015.\nEffect of Amendment\n2015 Act No. 2, Section 8, in (B)(2), deleted former (a) relating to"}

In which case the SPFC is insolvent if it fails to meet that criteria.\n(10) \"Insurance securitization\" means a package of related risk transfer instruments, capital market offerings, and facilitating administrative agreements by which proceeds are obtained by a SPFC directly or indirectly through the issuance of securities, which complies with applicable securities law, and which proceeds are held in trust pursuant to the provisions of this article to secure the obligations of the SPFC under one or more SPFC contracts with a counterparty, where investment risk to the holders of these securities is contingent upon the obligations of the SPFC to the counterparty under the SPFC contract in accordance with the transaction terms.\n(11) \"Management\" means the board of directors, managing board, or other individual or individuals vested with overall responsibility for the management of the affairs of the SPFC, including the election and appointment of officers or other of those agents to act on behalf of the SPFC.\n(12) \"Organizational document\" means the SPFC's Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization, Bylaws, Operating Agreement, or other foundational documents that establish the SPFC as a legal entity or prescribes its existence.\n(13) \"Parent\" means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or individual that directly or indirectly owns, controls, or holds with power to vote more than fifty percent of the outstanding voting securities of a SPFC.\n(14) \"Permitted investments\" means those investments that meet the qualifications pursuant to"}

-{"instruction": "What is the content of Alabama Code Section 40-33-34?", "response": "(21) \"Competence\" means the ability of a licensed nurse to perform safely, skillfully, and proficiently the functions within the role of the licensee. The role encompasses the possession and interrelation of essential knowledge, judgment, attitudes, values, skills, and abilities, which are varied and range in complexity. Competence is a dynamic concept, changing as the licensed nurse achieves a higher stage of development, responsibility, and accountability within the role.\n(22) \"Delivering\" means the act of handing over to a patient medications as ordered by an authorized licensed provider and prepared by an authorized licensed provider.\n(23) \"Dentist\" means a dentist licensed by the South Carolina Board of Dentistry.\n(24) \"Entity\" means a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability corporation, association, joint venture, cooperative, company, corporation, or other public or private legal entity authorized by law.\n(25) \"Expanded role\" of a registered nurse means a process of diffusion and implies multi-directional change. Expansion, as a process of role change, is undertaken to fill perceived needs in the health care system, and also to project new components or systems of health care. The authority base for practice from which the expanded role emanates is the body of knowledge that constitutes a nurse's preparation for practice. The expanded role of a registered nurse requires specialized knowledge, judgment, and skill, but does not require or permit medical diagnosis or medical prescription of therapeutic or corrective measures. The expanded role of a licensed practical nurse with special education and training includes performing delegated professional nursing activities, as authorized by the board under the direction and supervision of a registered nurse, but does not authorize violation of state law pertaining to medical or pharmacy practice.\n(26) \"Graduate Registered Nurse Anesthetist\" or \"GRNA\" means a new graduate of an advanced organized formal education program for nurse anesthetists accredited by the national accrediting organization who must achieve certification within one year of graduation of program completion.\n(27) \"Graduate Registered Nurse-Midwife\" or \"GRNM\" means a new graduate of an advanced organized formal education program for nurse-midwives accredited by the national accrediting organization.

Charges of incompetence may be based upon a single act of incompetence or upon a course of conduct or series of acts or omissions that extend over a period of time and that, taken as a whole, demonstrate incompetence. It is not necessary to show that actual harm resulted from the act or omission or series of acts or omissions if the conduct is such that harm could have resulted to the patient or to the public from the act or omission or series of acts or omissions.\n(31) \"Individual in need of in-home care\" means a functionally disabled individual in need of attendant care services because of impairment who requires assistance to complete functions of daily living, self-care, and mobility, including attendant care services.\n(32) \"Lapsed license\" means the termination of a person's authorization to practice nursing due to the person's failure to renew his or her nursing license within the renewal period.\n(33) \"Letter of caution\" means a written caution or warning about past or future conduct issued when it is determined that no misconduct has been committed or that only minor misconduct not warranting the imposition of a sanction has been committed. The issuance of a letter of caution is not a form of discipline and does not constitute a finding of misconduct unless the letter of caution specifically states that misconduct has been committed. The fact that a letter of caution has been issued must not be considered in a subsequent disciplinary proceeding against a person authorized to practice unless the caution or warning contained in the letter of caution is relevant to the misconduct alleged in the proceedings.\n(34) \"License\" means a current document issued by the board authorizing a person to practice as an advanced practice registered nurse, a registered nurse, or a licensed practical nurse.\n(35) \"Licensed Practical Nurse\" or \"LPN\" means a person to whom the board has issued an authorization to practice as a licensed practical nurse.\n(36) \"Medical staff\" means licensed physicians who are approved and credentialed to provide health care to patients in a hospital system or a facility that provides health care.\n(37) \"Misconduct\" means:\n(a) a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or regulations promulgated by the board pursuant to this chapter; or\n(b) a violation of any of the principles of nursing ethics as adopted by the board or incompetence or unprofessional conduct.\n(38) \"NCLEX\" means the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses.\n(39) \"Nurse\" means a person licensed as an advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse, or licensed practical nurse pursuant to this chapter.\n(40) \"Nurse Practitioner\" or \"NP\" means a registered nurse who has completed an advanced formal education program at the master's level or doctoral level acceptable to the board, and who demonstrates advanced knowledge and skill in assessment and management of physical and psychosocial health, illness status of persons, families, and groups. Nurse practitioners who perform medical acts must do so pursuant to a practice agreement as defined in item (45).\n(41) \"Nursing diagnosis\" means a clinical judgment about a person, family, or community that is derived through a nursing assessment and the standard nursing taxonomy.\n(42) \"Orientation\" means any introductory instruction into a new practice environment or employment situation where being a nurse is a requirement of employment or where the individual uses any title or abbreviation indicating that the individual is a nurse.

A prescription transmitted by facsimile must be received at the pharmacy as it was originally transmitted by facsimile and must include the name and address of the practitioner, the phone number for verbal confirmation, the time and date of transmission, and the name of the pharmacy intended to receive the transmission, as well as any other information required by federal or state law. Such prescription, when authorized, may not be refilled more than five times or later than six months after the date of the prescription unless renewed by the practitioner.\n(c) No controlled substances included in any schedule may be distributed or dispensed for other than a medical purpose. No practitioner may dispense a Schedule II narcotic controlled substance for the purpose of maintaining the addiction of a narcotic dependent person outside of a facility or program approved by the Department of Health and Environmental Control. No practitioner may dispense a controlled substance outside of a bona fide practitioner-patient relationship.\n(d) Unless specifically indicated in writing on the face of the prescription or noted in the electronic prescription that it is to be refilled, and the number of times specifically indicated, no prescription may be refilled.

The responsibility for the proper prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding liability rests with the pharmacist who fills and ultimately dispenses the prescription. An order purporting to be a prescription issued to a drug dependent person, not in the course of generally accepted medical treatment, but for the purpose of providing the user with controlled substances sufficient to maintain his dependence upon the substance, or to provide him with quantities of controlled substances in great excess of normal dosage ranges as recommended by the manufacturer of the substance, is not a prescription within the meaning and intent of this article; and the person filling or dispensing such an order, as well as the person issuing it, shall be deemed in violation of this section.\n(i) Excepting a mail order prescription dispensed in compliance with Chapter 43 of Title 40 for which the dispenser requires proper identification of the recipient, a prescription for a controlled substance in Schedules II through V may not be filled unless the dispenser knows the recipient or requires the recipient to produce a government issued photo identification, and the dispenser notes the identification source and number on the prescription, or in a readily retrievable log including:\n(1) prescription number;\n(2) date prescription filled;\n(3) number and type of identification;\n(4) initials of person obtaining and recording information.\n(j)(1) Initial opioid prescriptions for acute pain management or postoperative pain management must not exceed a seven-day supply, except when clinically indicated for cancer pain, chronic pain, hospice care, palliative care, major trauma, major surgery, treatment of sickle cell disease, treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome, or medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorder.

The term does not include \"chronic pain\" or pain being treated as part of cancer care, chronic care, hospice care, palliative care, major trauma, major surgery, treatment of sickle cell disease, treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome, or medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorder.\n(B) \"Chronic pain\" means pain that typically lasts for longer than three months or that lasts beyond the time of normal tissue healing.\n(C) \"Postoperative pain\" means acute pain experienced immediately after a surgical procedure.\n(D) \"Surgical procedure\" means a procedure performed for the purpose of altering the human body by incision or destruction of tissues as part of the practice of medicine such as diagnostic or therapeutic treatment of conditions or disease processes by use of instruments and includes lasers, ultrasound, ionizing, radiation, scalpels, probes, or needles that cause localized alteration or transportation of live human tissue by cutting, burning, vaporizing, freezing, suturing, probing, or manipulating by closed reduction for major dislocations and fractures, or otherwise altering by any mechanical, thermal, light-based, electromagnetic, or chemical means.\n(k)(1) Unless otherwise exempted by this subsection, a practitioner shall electronically prescribe any controlled substance included in Schedules II, III, IV, and V.

A service animal means an animal that is trained for the purposes of assisting or accommodating the sensory, mental, or physical disability of a disabled person. Under the law, the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship does not constitute the work or tasks of a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, no vest, other marking, or documentation is required for an animal to qualify as a service animal, nor are such vests, markings, or documentation a reliable indication of whether an animal is, by law, a service animal. People sometimes erroneously think that a therapy animal, an emotional support animal, or any animal wearing a vest or having any other type of marking is a service animal as defined by law; and\n\"Whereas, there is an increasing number of occurrences in which people exploit the confusion related to service animals and attempt to bring an animal into a place that it would otherwise not be allowed to enter by passing off the pet, therapy animal, or emotional support animal as a service animal, either by oral misrepresentation, placement of a vest or other marking on the animal, or presentation of a \"certificate\", despite knowing that it is not a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, some companies mislead individuals into believing that they will be entitled to the rights or privileges for individuals with disabilities with service animals if they buy the company's vests or obtain some type of certificate. These misrepresentations, in some cases, are unlawful deceptive trade practices and compound the confusion around service animals; and\n\"Whereas, commendably, federal and state laws require places of public accommodation, including airports, restaurants, theaters, stores, hospitals, and more, to allow any animal that is presented as a service animal into the place of public accommodation. These same places of public accommodation face a dilemma if someone enters the premises and intentionally misrepresents his animal as a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, when people try to falsely represent a nonservice animal as a service animal, business owners and other places of public accommodation become increasingly distrustful that the animals being represented to them as service animals are, in fact, service animals. Misrepresentation of service animals delegitimizes the program and makes it harder for persons with disabilities to gain unquestioned acceptance of their legitimate, properly trained, and essential service animals.

A service animal means an animal that is trained for the purposes of assisting or accommodating the sensory, mental, or physical disability of a disabled person. Under the law, the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship does not constitute the work or tasks of a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, no vest, other marking, or documentation is required for an animal to qualify as a service animal, nor are such vests, markings, or documentation a reliable indication of whether an animal is, by law, a service animal. People sometimes erroneously think that a therapy animal, an emotional support animal, or any animal wearing a vest or having any other type of marking is a service animal as defined by law; and\n\"Whereas, there is an increasing number of occurrences in which people exploit the confusion related to service animals and attempt to bring an animal into a place that it would otherwise not be allowed to enter by passing off the pet, therapy animal, or emotional support animal as a service animal, either by oral misrepresentation, placement of a vest or other marking on the animal, or presentation of a \"certificate\", despite knowing that it is not a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, some companies mislead individuals into believing that they will be entitled to the rights or privileges for individuals with disabilities with service animals if they buy the company's vests or obtain some type of certificate. These misrepresentations, in some cases, are unlawful deceptive trade practices and compound the confusion around service animals; and\n\"Whereas, commendably, federal and state laws require places of public accommodation, including airports, restaurants, theaters, stores, hospitals, and more, to allow any animal that is presented as a service animal into the place of public accommodation. These same places of public accommodation face a dilemma if someone enters the premises and intentionally misrepresents his animal as a service animal; and\n\"Whereas, when people try to falsely represent a nonservice animal as a service animal, business owners and other places of public accommodation become increasingly distrustful that the animals being represented to them as service animals are, in fact, service animals. Misrepresentation of service animals delegitimizes the program and makes it harder for persons with disabilities to gain unquestioned acceptance of their legitimate, properly trained, and essential service animals. Now, therefore, [Text of Act].\"\nEffect of Amendment\n2019 Act No. 44, Section 2, in (A), inserted the (1) to (54) identifiers and removed the column formatting, and added (55), relating to misrepresenting service animals."}

The first notice must require payment to the department of the required toll, plus an administrative fee as provided for in subsection (D), within thirty days of the mailing of the notice;\n(2) a \"Second Notice to Pay Toll\" to the owner or operator of a vehicle which is identified as having been involved in a second toll violation in a twelve-month period, or who has failed to respond to a \"First Notice to Pay Toll\" within the required time period. The second notice must require payment to the department of the required tolls, plus an administrative fee as provided for in subsection (D) for each violation within thirty days of the mailing of the notice;\n(3) a \"Failure to Pay a Toll\" citation to the owner or operator of a vehicle which is identified as having been involved in a third toll violation in a twelve-month period, or who has failed to respond to the second notice within the required time period. The citation requires payment to the department of the unpaid tolls, plus an administrative fee of not more than twenty-five dollars for each violation, within thirty days, or the recipient's appearance in magistrate's court of the county in which the violation occurred or the municipal court of the city in which the violation has occurred to contest the citation. A \"Failure to Pay a Toll\" citation constitutes the summons and complaint for an action to recover the toll and all applicable fees allowed pursuant to this section; and\n(4) notwithstanding another provision of law, the notices and citation required by subsection (G) by first-class mail to the owner or operator of the vehicle identified as being involved in the toll violation. If a vehicle is registered in two or more names, the notices or citation must be mailed to the first name listed on the registration records. Notwithstanding another provision of law, personal delivery of the notices and citation is not required. A manual or automatic record of the mailing of the notices or citation prepared in the ordinary course of business is prima facie evidence of the mailing of the notices or citation;\n(5) the notices and citation required by this subsection must contain the following information:\n(a) the name and address of the person or entity alleged to be liable for a failure to pay a toll pursuant to this section;\n(b) the registration number of the vehicle involved in the toll violation;\n(c) the location where the toll violation took place;\n(d) the date and time of the toll violation;\n(e) the identification number of the photo-monitoring system which recorded the violation or other document locator number;\n(f) information advising of the manner and time in which liability may be contested;\n(g) warning advising that failure to contest liability in the manner and time provided in this section is an admission of liability; and\n(h) information advising that failure to pay a toll may result in the suspension of vehicle registration.\n(H) If a vehicle owner receives a notice or citation pursuant to this section for a period during which the vehicle involved in the toll violation was:\n(1) reported to a law enforcement division as having been stolen, a valid defense to an allegation of liability for a failure to pay a toll is that the vehicle had been reported to a law enforcement division as stolen before the time the violation occurred and had not been recovered by the time of the violation. If an owner receives a notice or citation pursuant to this section for a violation which occurred during a time period in which the vehicle was stolen, but which had not been reported to a law enforcement division as having been stolen, a valid defense to an allegation of liability for a toll violation pursuant to this section is that the vehicle was reported as stolen within two hours after the discovery of the theft by the owner. For purposes of asserting the defense provided by this subitem, a certified copy of the police report on the stolen vehicle, sent by first-class mail to the department, its agent, or the magistrate's court or the municipal court having jurisdiction of the citation within thirty days after receipt of the notices or citation, is sufficient;\n(2) leased to another person or entity, the lessor is not liable for the violation if the lessor sends to the department or to the court having jurisdiction over the citation a copy of the rental, lease, or another contract document covering the vehicle on the date of the violation, with the name and address of the lessee clearly legible, within thirty days after receiving the notices or citation. Failure to send the information within the thirty-day period renders the lessor liable for the unpaid tolls and any administrative fees or penalties assessed pursuant to this section. If the lessor complies with the provisions of this subitem, the lessee of the vehicle on the date of the violation is subject to liability for the failure to pay the toll if the department or its agent mails a notice of liability to the lessee within thirty days after receipt of a copy of the rental, lease, or other contract document.\n(I) If a person or entity receives a notice or citation pursuant to this section, it is a valid defense to liability that the person or entity that receives the notice was not the owner of the vehicle at the time of the toll violation.\n(J) If an owner who pays the required tolls, fees, or penalties, or all of them pursuant to this section was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the violation, the owner may maintain an action for indemnification against the operator.\n(K) An owner of a vehicle is not liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if the operator of the vehicle has been convicted of a violation of"}

The review of the filing shall be limited to determining whether there are any mathematical or clerical errors in the application of the formula-based mechanism relating to the appropriate amount of any overcollection or undercollection of storm recovery charges and the amount of an adjustment. The adjustments shall ensure the recovery of revenues sufficient to provide for the payment of principal, interest, acquisition, defeasance, financing costs, or redemption premium and other fees, costs, and charges with respect to storm recovery bonds approved under the financing order. Within sixty days after receiving an electrical utility's request pursuant to this paragraph, the commission shall either approve the request or inform the electrical utility of any mathematical or clerical errors in its calculation.

After the issuance of a financing order, the electrical utility retains sole discretion regarding whether to assign, sell, or otherwise transfer storm recovery property or to cause storm recovery bonds to be issued, including the right to defer or postpone such assignment, sale, transfer, or issuance, unless otherwise provided in the financing order.\n(6) If required by the commission in a financing order, within one business day after the final terms of the storm recovery bonds are determined, the electrical utility shall provide an issuance advice letter to the commission.\n(a) Such issuance advice letter shall be in the form approved in a financing order and include the final terms of the storm recovery bond issuance, up-front financing costs and on-going financing costs. Such issuance advice letter shall include a certification from the electrical utility, the primary underwriter(s), and a qualified independent third-party designated by the commission, as a condition to closing, certifying whether the sale of storm recovery bonds complies with the requirements of this article and the financing order. The certifications of the electrical utility and independent third-party shall certify whether the issuance of recovery bonds and the imposition and collection of a storm recovery charge will in fact provide quantifiable net benefits to customers on a present-value basis as compared to the costs that would have been incurred absent the issuance of storm recovery bonds. The certifications of the electrical utility, primary underwriter(s), and independent third-party shall certify whether the structuring, marketing, and pricing of the storm recovery bonds will in fact result in the lowest storm recovery charges consistent with market conditions at the time the storm recovery bonds were priced and the terms set forth in the financing order. The independent third-party designated by the commission shall review the issuance advice letter and deliver its independent certification to the commission along with any other information it believes the commission should consider as to the commission's decision in subitem (b) no later than one business day after the filing of the issuance advice letter by the electric utility which will contain the aforementioned certifications.\n(b) Unless otherwise provided in the financing order, by no later than noon on the fourth business day after the final terms of the storm recovery bonds are determined, the commission shall either accept the issuance advice letter or deliver an order to the electrical utility to prevent the issuance of the storm recovery bonds.\n(D) At the request of an electrical utility, the commission may commence a proceeding and issue a subsequent financing order that provides for refinancing, retiring, or refunding storm recovery bonds issued pursuant to the original financing order if the commission finds that the subsequent financing order satisfies all of the criteria specified in this article for a financing order. Effective upon retirement of the refunded storm recovery bonds and the issuance of new storm recovery bonds, the commission shall adjust the related storm recovery charges accordingly.\n(E) Within thirty days after the commission issues a financing order or a decision denying a request for reconsideration or, if the request for reconsideration is granted, within thirty days after the commission issues its decision on reconsideration, an adversely affected party may petition for judicial review in the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Review on appeal shall be based solely on the record before the commission and briefs to the court and is limited to determining whether the financing order, or the order on reconsideration, conforms to the State Constitution and to state and federal law, and is within the authority of the commission under this article. The Supreme Court of South Carolina shall proceed to hear and determine the action as expeditiously as practicable and give the action precedence over other matters not accorded similar precedence by law.\n(F)(1) A financing order remains in effect and storm recovery property under the financing order continues to exist until storm recovery bonds issued pursuant to the financing order have been paid in full or defeased and, in each case, all commission-approved financing costs of such storm recovery bonds have been recovered in full.\n(2) A financing order issued to an electrical utility remains in effect and unabated notwithstanding the reorganization, bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, merger, or sale of the electrical utility or its successors or assignees.\nHISTORY: 2022 Act No. 227 (S.1077), Section 1, eff June 17, 2022."}

Avoided cost methodologies approved by the commission may account for differences in costs avoided based on the geographic location and resource type of a small power producer's qualifying small power production facility.\n(C) The avoided cost rates offered by an electrical utility to a small power producer not eligible for the standard offer must be calculated based on the avoided cost methodology most recently approved by the commission. In the event that a small power producer and an electrical utility are unable to mutually agree on an avoided cost rate, the small power producer shall have the right to have any disputed issues resolved by the commission in a formal complaint proceeding. The commission may require mediation prior to a formal complaint proceeding.\n(D) A small power producer shall have the right to sell the output of its facility to the electrical utility at the avoided cost rates and pursuant to the power purchase agreement then in effect by delivering an executed notice of commitment to sell form to the electrical utility. The commission shall approve a standard notice of commitment to sell form to be used for this purpose that provides the small power producer a reasonable period of time from its submittal of the form to execute a power purchase agreement. In no event, however, shall the small power producer, as a condition of preserving the pricing and terms and conditions established by its submittal of an executed commitment to sell form to the electrical utility, be required to execute a power purchase agreement prior to receipt of a final interconnection agreement from the electrical utility.\n(E)(1) Electrical utilities shall file with the commission power purchase agreements entered into pursuant to PURPA, resulting from voluntary negotiation of contracts between an electrical utility and a small power producer not eligible for the standard offer.\n(2) The commission is authorized to open a generic docket for the purposes of creating programs for the competitive procurement of energy and capacity from renewable energy facilities by an electrical utility within the utility's balancing authority area if the commission determines such action to be in the public interest.\n(3) In establishing standard offer and form contract power purchase agreements, the commission shall consider whether such power purchase agreements should prohibit any of the following:\n(a) termination of the power purchase agreement, collection of damages from small power producers, or commencement of the term of a power purchase agreement prior to commercial operation, if delays in achieving commercial operation of the small power producer's facility are due to the electrical utility's interconnection delays; or\n(b) the electrical utility reducing the price paid to the small power producer based on costs incurred by the electrical utility to respond to the intermittent nature of electrical generation by the small power producer.\n(F)(1) Electrical utilities, subject to approval of the commission, shall offer to enter into fixed price power purchase agreements with small power producers for the purchase of energy and capacity at avoided cost, with commercially reasonable terms and a duration of ten years. The commission may also approve commercially reasonable fixed price power purchase agreements with a duration longer than ten years, which must contain additional terms, conditions, and/or rate structures as proposed by intervening parties and approved by the commission, including, but not limited to, a reduction in the contract price relative to the ten year avoided cost. Notwithstanding any other language to the contrary, the commission will make such a determination in proceedings conducted pursuant to subsection (A). The avoided cost rates applicable to fixed price power purchase agreements entered into pursuant to this item shall be based on the avoided cost rates and methodologies as determined by the commission pursuant to this section. The terms of this subsection apply only to those small power producers whose qualifying small power production facilities have active interconnection requests on file with the electrical utility prior to the effective date of this act.

The commission is expressly directed to consider the potential benefits of terms with a longer duration to promote the state's policy of encouraging renewable energy.\n(G) Nothing in this section prohibits the commission from adopting various avoided cost methodologies or amending those methodologies in the public interest.\n(H) Unless otherwise agreed to between the electrical utility and the small power producer, a power purchase agreement entered into pursuant to PURPA may not allow curtailment of qualifying facilities in any manner that is inconsistent with PURPA or implementing regulations and orders promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.\n(I) The commission is authorized to employ, through contract or otherwise, third-party consultants and experts in carrying out its duties under this section, including, but not limited to, evaluating avoided cost rates, methodologies, terms, calculations, and conditions under this section. The commission is exempt from complying with the State Procurement Code in the selection and hiring of a third-party consultant or expert authorized by this subsection. The commission shall engage, for each utility, a qualified independent third party to submit a report that includes the third party's independently derived conclusions as to that third party's opinion of each utility's calculation of avoided costs for purposes of proceedings conducted pursuant to this section. The qualified independent third party is subject to the same ex parte prohibitions contained in Chapter 3, Title 58 as all other parties. The qualified independent third party shall submit all requests for documents and information necessary to their analysis under the authority of the commission and the commission shall have full authority to compel response to the requests. The qualified independent third party's duty will be to the commission. Any conclusions based on the evidence in the record and included in the report are intended to be used by the commission along with all other evidence submitted during the proceeding to inform its ultimate decision setting the avoided costs for each electrical utility. The utilities may require confidentiality agreements with the independent third party that do not impede the third-party analysis. The utilities shall be responsive in providing all documents, information, and items necessary for the completion of the report. The independent third party shall also include in the report a statement assessing the level of cooperation received from the utility during the development of the report and whether there were any material information requests that were not adequately fulfilled by the electrical utility. Any party to this proceeding shall be able to review the report including the confidential portions of the report upon entering into an appropriate confidentiality agreement. The commission and the Office of Regulatory Staff may not hire the same third-party consultant or expert in the same proceeding or to address the same or similar issues in different proceedings.\n(J) Each electrical utility's avoided cost filing must be reasonably transparent so that underlying assumptions, data, and results can be independently reviewed and verified by the parties and the commission.

All school districts shall designate annually at least three days within their school calendars to be used as make-up days in the event of these occurrences. If those designated days have been used or are no longer available, the local school board of trustees may lengthen the hours of school operation by no less than one hour per day for the total number of hours missed, operate schools on Saturday, or may waive up to three days. A waiver granted by the local board of trustees of the requirement for making up the three or fewer days missed only may be authorized by a majority vote of the local school board, and, after the completion of the 2014-2015 school year, may not be granted for a school in the district until the school has made up three full days, or the equivalent number of hours, missed due to snow, extreme weather, or other disruptions requiring the school to close during the same school year in which the waiver is sought. When a district waives a make-up day pursuant to this section, the make-up day also is waived for all charter schools located in the district and for all students participating in a home schooling program approved by the board of trustees of the district in which the student resides. Schools operating on a four-by-four block schedule shall make every effort to make up the time during the semester in which the days are missed. A plan to make up days by lengthening the school day must be approved by the Department of Education before implementation. Tutorial instruction for grades 7 through 12 may be taught on Saturday at the direction of the local school board. If a local school board authorizes make-up days on Saturdays, tutorial instruction normally offered on Saturday for seventh through twelfth graders must be scheduled at an alternative time.\n(C) The State Board of Education may waive the requirements of making up days beyond the three days forgiven by the local school district, not to exceed three additional days missed because of snow, extreme weather conditions, or other disruptions requiring schools to close.

However, it is recognized that, during periods of abnormally low growth in state revenue, appropriations may necessarily have to be reduced below the anticipated trend and that during periods of abnormally high revenue growth an effort would be made to restore progress in funding to achieve full implementation during the five year phase period.
