TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 38-77-370 SO AS TO PROHIBIT AN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY FROM USING THE FACT THAT ITS INSURED PAID AN OUT-OF-STATE MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC TICKET, WHEREIN NO TRIAL OR OTHER ADJUDICATORY PROCEEDING ATTENDED BY THE INSURED WAS HELD, AS EVIDENCE OF FAULT AS A BASIS FOR IMPOSING A SURCHARGE ON THE INSURED.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

"Section 38-77-370. No automobile insurer doing business in this State may use the fact that its insured paid an out-of-state motor vehicle traffic ticket, wherein no trial or other adjudicatory proceeding attended by the insured was held, as evidence of the fault of its insured in a motor vehicle accident, as a basis for imposing a surcharge on the insured's policy premium."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor
