In April 2011, South Carolina passed a bill that changed our law that imposing a driver’s license suspension for convictions involving controlled substances. If a person was arrested prior to April 12, 2011 for criminal charges such as simple possession of marijuana and is later found guilty, then the person’s driver’s license will be suspended for six months under the old law. However, if the arrest occurs on or after April 12, 2011, then the person’s driver’s license will not be suspended even if the person is found guilty. The newer law includes other charges such as simple possession, distribution, and possession with intent to distribute substances such as marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.
