(B) A law enforcement officer who stops a person driving with an invalid license described in subsection (A) shall issue a citation to the driver for driving without a license in violation of Section 56-1-440.
(C) The department, to facilitate the enforcement of this section and to aid in providing notice to the public and visitors of invalid licenses, shall maintain on its website a list of out-of-state classes of drivers' licenses that are invalid in this State.
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
