The South Carolina House Legislative Oversight Committee (HLOC) is currently conducting its reviews of several state agencies, including the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). The mission of the committee is to “Determine if agency laws and programs are being implemented and carried out in accordance with the intent of the General Assembly and whether they should be continued, curtailed or eliminated. Inform the public about state agencies.” In more simple terms, are we doing what we are supposed to be doing as a state agency? Well, the committee wants to hear from you!
If you have had positive experiences with the Department of Consumer Affairs, please share your story with the HLOC. Whether it’s been through a presentation, webinar, the complaint process, scam or ID theft report or some other avenue, your story can help show the HLOC what DCA is doing to help consumers across the state.
There are a few different ways you can share your experience:
More information about the HLOC and its review processes is available here. If you have any questions, you may also contact Bailey Parker with the Department of Consumer Affairs by calling (803) 734-4296 or emailing scdca@scconsumer.gov.
