The bill S. 652 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by repealing provisions related to the revocation of driver's licenses due to child support arrearages. Specifically, it seeks to repeal Article 7, Chapter 17, Title 63, which addresses the revocation of licenses for failure to pay child support, as well as Section 56-1-171, which pertains to the suspension of licenses and the issuance of route-restricted licenses for individuals in such situations.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals whose driver's licenses have been revoked under the previously mentioned provisions, or who are currently operating under a route-restricted license, to apply for a new driver's license. The Department of Motor Vehicles will issue the license as long as the applicants meet all other standard requirements. This legislation is set to take effect upon the Governor's approval.
