Advertising rules in South Carolina

  • Misconduct that constitutes grounds for disciplinary action is a showing to the board by the preponderance of evidence that a licensee has engaged in dishonorable, unethical, or unprofessional conduct that is likely either to deceive, defraud, or harm the public.
