Summary

The bill adds a new rule that lets the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles give the written portion of the driver’s license test in a language other than English when the applicant cannot speak or read English. When a restricted license issued under this rule expires, the holder must retake the written test in English without any translation aids. It also clarifies an exception for people who can read and write English but have a hearing impairment that limits spoken English.
