1250.2 Change in Distributors.

It has been called to the attention of the Department by certain members of the General Assembly, who have filed statements thereabout with the said Department, that it was not the intention of the South Carolina General Assembly in enacting Section 12–21–1330 of the 1976 Code to require the filing of the ninety day written notice with the Department by manufacturers and wholesalers prior to any change in their distributors, or in the territories of their distributors, where both the manufacturer and the wholesaler mutually agree in writing to waive the said ninety day written notice requirement. Based upon the aforementioned declaration of legislative intent pertaining to the enactment of Section 12–21–1330, the Department, in instances where both the manufacturer affected and the wholesaler affected mutually agree in writing to waive the aforesaid ninety day notice prior to change in their distributors or in the territory of their distributors, will consider the filing of the waiver agreement with the Department sufficient compliance with the provisions of said Section 12–21–1330. Until the mutually executed waiver agreement is duly filed with the Department, and in form and content acceptable to the Department, the waiver of the notice requirements of Section 12–21–1330 shall not become effective.
