Introduced·2/25/25
Introduced Text

Bill H4091 amends South Carolina law to remove exemptions for certain individuals from using ignition interlock devices.

Bill H4091 amends Section 56-5-2941 of the South Carolina Code to eliminate an exemption that allows certain individuals to drive without installing an ignition interlock device. Specifically, it removes the exemption for self-employed individuals or those employed by a business owned by themselves or family members. The change ensures that all drivers subject to ignition interlock device requirements must comply, except in cases where a court determines that the vehicle's ownership by the business serves a legitimate business purpose and was not used to avoid the law.
