(A) In an order issued in resolution of a disciplinary proceeding before the South Carolina Commissioners of Pilotage having jurisdiction, a pilot found in violation of this chapter may be directed to pay a sum not to exceed the reasonable costs of investigation, inspection, and prosecution of the case in addition to other sanctions.

(B) A certified copy of the actual costs, or a good faith estimate of costs where actual costs are not available, is prima facie evidence of reasonable costs.

(C) Failure to make timely payment in accordance with the order results in the collection of costs in accordance with Title 40, Chapter 1.

(D) The South Carolina Commissioners of Pilotage having jurisdiction may conditionally renew or reinstate for a maximum of one year the license of an individual who demonstrates financial hardship and who enters into a formal agreement to reimburse the Commissioners of Pilotage within that one-year period for the unpaid costs.

(E) All costs and fines imposed pursuant to this chapter are due and payable immediately upon imposition or at the time indicated by final order of the Commissioners of Pilotage. Unless the costs and fines are paid within sixty days after the order becomes final, the order becomes a judgment and may be collected in any manner provided in Title 40, Chapter 1. The South Carolina Commissioners of Pilotage may collect costs and attorney’s fees incurred in executing the judgment. Interest at the legal rate accrues on the amount due from the date imposed until the date paid.
