S.C. Supreme Court promulgates rules providing for appeal of agency decisions to appellate court rather than the circuit courts

Until Act No. 387 went into effect July 1, all appeals from agency decisions, including decisions of the administrative law court, have been to the circuit court. Now, appeals from decisions of the administrative law court and certain agencies will be to the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals as provided by the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules.

In light of Act 387, the Supreme Court has promulgated emergency amendments to the appellate rules.
