The bill H. 4011 proposes amendments to the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically targeting the issuance of temporary drivers' permits and the introduction of expedited services for beginner's permits, drivers' licenses, and identification cards. It seeks to replace the term "temporary driver's permit" with "temporary driving certificate" in Section 56-1-70, while also allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue temporary identification certificates during the application process.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, 56-1-560, which grants the DMV the authority to expedite the issuance of beginner's permits, drivers' licenses, and identification cards for a fee of ninety dollars. This fee is intended to cover the costs associated with the expedited service and will be reviewed every four years to ensure it remains appropriate. The funds collected will be retained by the DMV to offset production and mailing costs, and the department is required to report its findings and any recommendations regarding the fee to the General Assembly.
