A JOINT RESOLUTION

TO PROVIDE THAT EVERY VALID LICENSE AND PERMIT TO OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY THAT IS SUBJECT TO RENEWAL AND REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE RENEWED IN THE MONTHS OF MARCH, APRIL, OR MAY OF 2001, IS EXTENDED AND UNLESS SUSPENDED OR REVOKED FOR CAUSE IN THE INTERIM, MUST REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL JUNE 30, 2001.

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

SECTION 1.Notwithstanding any other provision of law, every valid license and permit to operate a motor vehicle issued by the Department of Public Safety that is subject to renewal and required by law to be renewed in the months of March, April, or May of 2001, is extended and unless suspended or revoked for cause in the interim, must remain in full force and effect until June 30, 2001. The extension of valid licenses and valid permits under this section is automatic and the holder of a license or permit is not required to contact the department, pay a fee, be tested for vision, or be reexamined until and unless the license or permit is renewed on or before June 30, 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 1, Title 56 of the 1976 Code. A license or permit that expires during March, April, or May of 2001, that is not renewable is not extended by this section.

SECTION2.This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
