S.C. Code § 38-89-50
Upon the activation of the plan of operation, a day care owner or operator licensed in this State is entitled to apply to the association for coverage. The application may be made on behalf of the applicant by a licensed agent or broker authorized in writing by the applicant.
If the association determines that the applicant meets the underwriting standards of the association as set forth in the approved plan of operation and there is no unpaid, uncontested premium due from the applicant for any prior insurance of the same kind, the association, upon receipt of the premium, or a portion of it as prescribed by the plan of operation, shall cause to be issued a policy of day care liability insurance for one year.
The rates, rating plans, rating rules, rating classifications, territories, and policy forms applicable to insurance written by the association and the statistical and experience data relating thereto are subject to this chapter and to those provisions of Chapter 73, Title 38 of the 1976 Code which are not inconsistent with this subdivision.
