A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING ARTICLE 73 TO CHAPTER 3, TITLE 56, SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES FOR ORGAN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Chapter 3, Title 56 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Article 73

Special License Plates for

Organ Transplant Recipients

Section 56-3-7750. The department may issue special motor vehicle license plates to organ transplant recipients for private motor vehicles registered in their names. Only one plate may be issued to a person. The biennial fee for the special license plate is the same as the fee provided in Section 56-3-2020, plus an initial fee of two dollars must be charged for issuance of the special license plate.

Section 56-3-7760. The special license plate must be the same size as regular motor vehicle license plates, but must be of a distinctive design and bear the words `Organ Transplant Recipient'. The plate must be issued or revalidated biennially for the regular license period. An organ transplant recipient must submit a doctor's statement verifying his condition with his license plate application."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
