A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 56-3-5010, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO "PUBLIC EDUCATION: A GREAT INVESTMENT SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES", SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THIS LICENSE PLATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER VEHICLE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

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

SECTION 1. Section 56-3-5010 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 155 of 1997, is further amended to read:

"Section 56-3-5010. (A) The Department of Public Safety may issue a special commemorative 'Public Education: A Great Investment' motor vehicle license plate to establish a special fund to be used by the Department of Education for the purpose of providing computers to the public schools. The biennial fee for the commemorative license plate is fifty-four dollars, and of this amount, twenty dollars must be placed in a special 'Public Education: A Great Investment Fund' established within and administered by the Department of Education to purchase computers for use in the classroom and thirty-four dollars must be distributed to the school district or a school chosen by the license plate purchaser to be used to purchase computers for use in the classroom. The Department of Public Safety shall report to the Department of Education the school district and the school chosen by the license plate purchaser to which the funds must be distributed. The Department of Education shall distribute funds to the district for further distribution to the schools chosen by the license plate purchasers. The commemorative plate must be of the same size and general design of regular motor vehicle license plates and must be imprinted with the words 'Public Education: A Great Investment'. The plates must be issued or revalidated for a biennial period which expires twenty-four months from the month they are issued.

(B) The license plate issued pursuant to this section may be transferred to another vehicle of the same or another weight class upon application being made to and approved by the department and the payment of the corresponding weight class fee to the department."

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