The bill H. 4091 aims to amend Section 56-5-2941 of the South Carolina Code of Laws concerning ignition interlock devices. Specifically, it seeks to remove a provision that previously exempted certain individuals from the requirement to install ignition interlock devices in their vehicles. This change is intended to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their employment status or ownership of a business, are subject to the same regulations regarding ignition interlock devices.

The amendment clarifies that individuals who are self-employed or employed by a business they own, or by a business owned by a family member, will no longer be exempt from the ignition interlock device requirement unless a court determines that the vehicle's ownership serves a legitimate business purpose and was not intended to evade the law. This bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
