TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES, RELATING TO DRIVER TRAINING SCHOOLS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 3093, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Motor Vehicles, relating to Driver Training Schools, designated as Regulation Document Number 3093, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Proposed regulation will replace and supersede Chapter 38, Article 3, Subarticle 7, Driver Schools, which was promulgated by the Department of Public Safety. Administration of the regulation has been transferred to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The proposed regulation will place the responsibility for administering Driver Training Schools under the proper regulatory authority.
The General Assembly amended Sections 56-23-10, 56-23-40, 56-23-60, 56-23-70, 56-23-80 and 56-23-85. The amendments include the issuance of a license to an instructor for classroom only or behind the wheel training only, requires a ten thousand dollar ($10,000) surety bond, requires records be made available at a permanent location in South Carolina for review and increases the temporary instructor fee to twenty dollars. Private secondary school instructors are also exempt from fees for an instructor permit. The regulations revise specifications for Driver Training Schools. The Department of Motor Vehicles must promulgate regulations to provide for the above changes.
