The Committee on Transportation proposes the following amendment (SR-872.KM0002S):
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:
SECTION 1. Section 56-1-140(A) of the S.C. Code is amended to read:(A) Upon payment of a fee of twenty-five dollars for a license that is valid for eight years, the department shall issue to every qualified applicant a driver's license as applied for by law. The license must bear on it a distinguishing number assigned to the licensee, the full name, date of birth, residence address, a brief description and unobstructed photograph of the licensee's face, any marking otherwise required or in compliance with law, and a facsimile of the signature of the licensee. No license is valid until it has been so signed by the licensee. Qualified applicants who are not citizens of the United States must have "Limited Term" conspicuously included on the driver's licenses or identification cards issued to them. The license authorizes the licensee to operate only those classifications of vehicles as indicated on the license.
SECTION 2. Section 7-13-710(A) of the S.C. Code is amended to read:
(A) When a person presents himself to vote, he shall produce a valid and current:
