TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
56-1-555 SO AS TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT BE PLACED UNDER CUSTODIAL ARREST 
WHEN STOPPED FOR OPERATING MOTOR VEHICLES WITH SUSPENDED DRIVERS' LICENSES 
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE REINSTATEMENT OF THE 
INDIVIDUALS' DRIVERS' LICENSES AND THE DISMISSAL OF THE DRIVING WHILE UNDER 
SUSPENSION CHARGES.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 1, Chapter 1, Title 56 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
56-1-555. Notwithstanding another provision of law, a person may not be placed 
under custodial arrest when stopped for operating a motor vehicle with a 
suspended driver's license when the suspension is based upon an outstanding 
unpaid traffic ticket or a clerical error contained on the person's driving 
record. Upon payment of the traffic ticket or the correction of the clerical 
error that led to the suspension, the person's driver's license must be 
reinstated and the driving while under suspension charge must be dismissed.
