The Office of Motor Vehicle Hearings (OMVH) was created in 2005 and
is an office within the South Carolina Administrative Law Court. There are
five hearing officers who conduct hearings in accordance with Chapter 23 of
Title 1, the Administrative Procedures Act, and the rules of procedure for
the OMVH.
The OMVH provides a neutral forum for fair, prompt, and objective
hearings for persons affected by an action or proposed action of the South
Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, ensuring due process and respecting
the dignity of all.
The Chief Judge of the Administrative Law Court is responsible for
the administration of the OMVH, the assignment of cases, and the
administrative duties and responsibilities of the hearings officers and
staff.
