SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

2003 Act No. 51, §3 created the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) and transferred all functions, powers, duties, responsibilities, and authority statutorily exercised by the Motor Vehicle Division and the Motor Carrier Services unit with the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) to the SCDMV. At the time of the split of the SCDMV from the SCDPS, the regulations regarding the two agencies were not divided within the South Carolina Code of Regulations. Therefore, the SCDMV proposes to promulgate regulations that are still maintained within the South Carolina Code of Regulations Chapter pertaining to SCDPS that apply to SCDMV in true function. Specifically, this promulgation pertains to regulations currently contained at S.C. Reg. 38-100 through 38-102. The SCDMV proposes to promulgate similar regulations in SCDMV Chapter of the South Carolina Code of Regulations.

 

The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on July 28, 2023.
