South Carolina bill H5248 mandates "Limited Term" on licenses for non-citizens and restricts their use for voting.

Bill H5248 amends South Carolina law to require "Limited Term" on driver's licenses and identification cards for non-citizens. It also prohibits these cards from being used as valid identification for voting purposes. The bill mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles provide one free modified card per issuance cycle for changes in name or address, with subsequent changes incurring a fee. The changes take effect upon approval by the Governor, with Section 3 effective one year later.
