Driving under the influence

Summary

The bill revises South Carolina’s drunk‑driving laws to allow both monetary and incarceration penalties, require offenders to attend DUI victim‑impact panels, and mandate ignition‑interlock devices for many convictions. It also creates new prosecutorial and court procedures, expands license‑suspension rules, and adds reporting and study requirements. The changes target drivers who are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both, especially repeat offenders and those who endanger minors.
