South Carolina H4686 expands eligibility for driver's licenses to certain non-residents and sets new rules for license issuance and renewal.

South Carolina H4686 amends the state code to include authorized non-residents in the definition of "resident of South Carolina" for driver's license purposes. This includes individuals with temporary or permanent U.S. visas who intend to live, work, or study in South Carolina. These individuals and their dependents can now obtain or renew a driver's license. The bill also specifies that licenses for non-lawful permanent residents expire on the later of their authorized stay or employment authorization.
