AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING ARTICLE 33
TO CHAPTER 3 OF TITLE 56 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES FOR
RECIPIENTS OF THE PURPLE HEART.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Special license plates for recipients of the Purple Heart
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Article 33
Special License Plates for Recipients
of the Purple Heart
Section 56-3-3310. The South Carolina Department of Highways and Public
Transportation may issue a special motor vehicle license plate to a recipient of
the Purple Heart. The annual fee for the special license plate is the same as
the fee provided for in Section 56-3-2020 and only one plate may be issued to any
person. The application for a special plate must include proof that the
applicant is a recipient of the Purple Heart.
Section 56-3-3320. The special license plates must be of the same size as
regular motor vehicle license plates, upon which must be imprinted on the left
side of the plates the distinctive Purple Heart insignia with numbers and designs
determined by the Department. The license plate must be issued for an annual
period which shall expire twelve months from the month in which the special
license plate is issued.
Section 56-3-3330. A license plate issued pursuant to this article may be
transferred to another vehicle of the same weight class owned by the same person
upon application being made and approved by the Department. It is unlawful for
any person to whom the special plate has been issued to knowingly permit it to
be displayed on any vehicle except the one authorized by the Department.
Section 56-3-3340. The provisions of this article do not affect the
registration and licensing of motor vehicles as required by other provisions of
this chapter but are cumulative to them. Any person violating the provisions of
this article or any person who (a) fraudulently gives false or fictitious
information in any application for a special license plate, as authorized in this
article, (b) conceals a material fact, or (c) otherwise commits a fraud in any
application or in the use of any special license plate issued is guilty of a
misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be punished by a fine of not more than one
hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor. |
