AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 56-1-180, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO SPECIAL RESTRICTED LICENSES FOR CERTAIN MINORS, SO AS TO CHANGE THE TIME PERIOD FOR OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Restricted driver's license revised
SECTION 1. Section 56-1-180 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 56-1-180. The department may issue a special restricted driver's license to a person who is at least fifteen years old and less than sixteen years old, who first has acquired a beginner's permit or an instruction permit and who has successfully passed the road tests or other requirements as the department may in its discretion prescribe. The special restricted driver's license is valid only under the following conditions:
(1) in the operation of all type vehicles, except that between the hours of six o'clock p.m. and six o'clock a.m. the holder of the special restricted driver's license must be accompanied by a licensed adult, twenty-one years of age or more, or accompanied by the holder's parent or guardian. However, beginning on the day that daylight saving time goes into effect through the day that daylight saving time ends, the holder of the license does not need to be accompanied before eight o'clock p.m.;
(2) in the operation of farm machinery and equipment, other than a passenger car, while engaged in agricultural pursuits; and
(3) in the operation of a motor scooter or light motor-driven cycle of five-brake horsepower or less."
Time effective
