The bill H. 3170 seeks to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 56-1-520, which establishes that driver's licenses issued by other states exclusively to undocumented immigrants are invalid in South Carolina. This includes licenses that resemble those issued to lawful residents but are marked to indicate that the holder did not provide proof of lawful presence. The bill stipulates that individuals driving with such invalid licenses will be cited for driving without a license, in accordance with existing law.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles maintain a list on its website of out-of-state driver's licenses that are deemed invalid in the state. This provision aims to enhance public awareness and assist law enforcement in enforcing the new regulations. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
