SC| The South Carolina Department of Insurance has issued Bulletin 2025-02, extending the period for licensing temporary non-resident adjusters and motor vehicle physical damage appraisers due to the ongoing impact of Tropical Storm Helene. This extension, dated January 14, 2025, prolongs the original declaration made in Bulletin 2024-11 from September 30, 2024.
