The bill S. 652 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by repealing certain 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 pertains to the revocation of licenses for failure to pay child support, as well as Section 56-1-171, which addresses the suspension of licenses and the issuance of route-restricted licenses for individuals in similar situations.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals whose driver's licenses have been revoked under the repealed provisions or who are currently operating under a route-restricted license to apply for a standard driver's license, provided they meet all other licensing requirements. This change is intended to provide relief to those affected by the previous laws and facilitate their ability to obtain a driver's license once again. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
