AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 56-9-351, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO SUSPENSION OF LICENSE AND REGISTRATION AFTER AN ACCIDENT, SO AS TO DELETE PROVISIONS RELATING TO SUSPENSION OF DRIVER'S LICENSE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Suspension of license after accident
SECTION 1. Section 56-9-351 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 56-9-351. Within sixty days of receipt of a report of a motor vehicle accident within this State which has resulted in bodily injury or death or damage to the property of any one person in the amount of two hundred dollars or more, the department shall suspend the license of each operator or driver if he is the owner of the motor vehicle involved in the accident and all registrations of each owner of a motor vehicle involved in the accident. If the operator or driver is a nonresident, the privilege of operating a motor vehicle within this State and the privilege of the use within this State of a motor vehicle owned by him is suspended unless the operator, driver or owner, or both, deposits security in a sum not less than two hundred dollars or an additional amount as the department may specify that will be sufficient to satisfy a judgment that may be recovered for damages resulting from the accident which may be recovered against the operator or owner. Notice of the suspension must be sent by the department to the operator and owner at least ten days before the effective date of the suspension and shall state the amount required as security."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 10th day of July, 1992.
