The South Carolina Department of Public Safety suspended the driver's license of Billy Ray Starnes. The circuit court reversed the suspension, finding Department (1) lacked the authority to hold a hearing outside the ten-day time limit prescribed by statute, (2) failed to issue a written order within the required thirty-day period, and (3) submitted a breath test result based on an invalid simulator test. Department appeals and we affirm.
