Beaufort County DUI Attorney and the New DUI Legislation

On April 28, 2008, the Governor of South Carolina signed House Bill 3496. This house bill revises the period of time a person's privilege to drive must be suspended when the driver refuses to submit to a chemical DUI test. The new bill also relates to an administrative hearing and the immobilization of a motor vehicle owned by a person who has been convicted of driving under the influence. The bill increases fees for reregistering an immobilized motor vehicle. In addition the bill also requires a driver to pay for costs of a breath test and relates to a restricted license and payment for alcohol treatment services.
