ORDERS:
NOTICE OF HEARING
This matter was initiated by a citation issued by the South Carolina Law Enforcement
Division and the South Carolina Department of Revenue ("Department") against Respondent for a
violation of S.C. Code Ann. Section 12-21-2748 (Supp. 1996). On February 20, 1997, Respondent
was cited for failure to affix owner/operator identification to machines licensed pursuant to S.C.
Code Ann. Section 12-21-2720(A)(3)(Supp. 1996). A Department Determination was issued
sustaining the imposition of the violation and imposing a monetary fine in the amount of $7,500.00
($2,500 for each of the three machines that failed to have the identification) for this violation.
Prior to the hearing on this matter scheduled for December 3, 1997, the parties resolved this
matter. That agreement is incorporated into this Order.
The agreement between the parties is as follows:
1. Respondent admits the violation and agrees to pay the monetary penalty imposed by
the Department of $1,500.00.
2. In consideration of the above, the Department agrees to accept payment of the penalty
no later than 5:00 p.m. on December 5, 1997, and waives all other monetary penalties as this is
Respondent's first offense of this nature.
I find the above settlement to be fair and equitable, approve such settlement, and hereby
Order its adoption. This Court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As the parties
no longer require a hearing on this matter, I also Order this matter Dismissed with Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
