TO AMEND SECTION 56-1-746, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE SUSPENSION OF THE DRIVER'S LICENSE OF PERSONS CONVICTED OF CERTAIN DRIVER'S LICENSE AND ALCOHOL-RELATED OFFENSES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE LICENSE OF A PERSON ACCEPTED INTO A PRETRIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON BEING CHARGED WITH ONE OF THESE OFFENSES MUST BE SUSPENDED AS IF THE PERSON WAS CONVICTED AND TO REQUIRE THE CIRCUIT SOLICITOR TO REPORT THE PERSON'S ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 56-1-746 of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 602 of 1990, is amended by adding an appropriately lettered subsection to read:

"( ) If a person charged with an offense enumerated in subsection (A) of this section is accepted into a pretrial intervention program on the charge, his driver's license must be suspended as provided in this section in the same manner as if he was convicted of the offense. The circuit solicitor shall report to the department the acceptance into a pretrial intervention program of a person charged with one of the enumerated offenses."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
