Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.) A bill TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 56-1-557 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT WHEN A PERSON APPEALS A CONVICTION THAT REQUIRES THE SUSPENSION OF HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE DRIVER'S LICENSE SUSPENSION MUST BE STAYED WHILE THE CASE IS BEING APPEALED OR WHEN A PETITION FOR REHEARING HAS BEEN FILED;
AND TO AMEND SECTION 56-1-365, RELATING TO A PERSON WHO SURRENDERS HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES MAY NOT SUSPEND A PERSON'S DRIVER'S LICENSE IF IT FAILS TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF A CONVICTION THAT REQUIRES THE LICENSE TO BE SUSPENDED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF THE CONVICTION.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Title 56 of the S.C.
Code is amended by adding:
Section 56-1-557. When a person appeals or requests a rehearing of a conviction that requires the suspension of his driver's license, the driver's license suspension must be stayed while the case is being appealed or when a petition for rehearing has been filed.
SECTION 2. Section 56-1-365(C) of the S.C.
Code is amended to read:
(C) The department shall notify the defendant of the suspension or revocation.
Except as provided in Section 56-5-2990, if the defendant surrendered his license to the magistrate or clerk immediately after conviction, the effective date of the revocation or suspension is the date of surrender.
If the magistrate or clerk wilfully fails to electronically forward the disposition and license surrender information to the department within five business days, the suspension or revocation does not begin until the department receives and processes the license and ticket, provided that the end date of the term of suspension or revocation shall be calculated from the date of surrender and not the date the department receives and processes the ticket.
The department may not suspend a person's license if it fails to receive notice of a conviction that requires the license to be suspended within thirty days of the conviction.
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
