TO AMEND SECTION 56-1-180 OF THE 1976 CODE, RELATING TO DRIVER'S LICENSES, TO PROVIDE THAT A PERSON WITH A SPECIAL RESTRICTED DRIVER'S LICENSE MAY DRIVE UNACCOMPANIED BETWEEN HIS HOME AND HIS PLACE OF WORSHIP.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 56-1-180(B)(1) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(B) The special restricted driver's license is valid only in the operation of:
(1) vehicles during daylight hours. During nighttime hours, the holder of a special restricted driver's license must be accompanied by a licensed adult, twenty-one years of age or older. The holder of a special restricted driver's license may not drive between midnight and six o'clock a.m., unless accompanied by the holder's licensed parent or guardian.

(a) employment or the opportunity for employment;
(b) travel between the licensee's home and place of employment or school; or
(c) travel between the licensee's home or place of employment and vocational training; or
