AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina law regarding special restricted driver's licenses, which are typically issued to minors and have limitations on when and how they can be used. Specifically, it changes the existing rule that a minor with a special restricted driver's license cannot drive between midnight and six o'clock a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed individual listed in Section 56-1-100(A)(1-7) to now state that a minor with such a license cannot operate a vehicle between midnight and five o'clock a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed driver, who must either sit beside them or be within a safe viewing distance for motorcycles or mopeds. This change effectively tightens the restriction by one hour, making the prohibited driving period start earlier in the morning.
