(B) Withholding required under Sections 12-8-540 and 12-8-550 may be waived by the department if the payee guarantees compliance with the provisions of Chapter 6 of this title and the requirements of a withholding agent under this chapter by furnishing the department with: (1) a bond secured by an insurance company licensed by the South Carolina Department of Insurance; (2) a deposit of securities which have been approved by the State Treasurer; or (3) cash which does not bear interest.
