TO AMEND ARTICLE 22, CHAPTER 3, TITLE 56, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE PLATES TO MEMBERS OF MUNICIPAL COUNCILS, COUNTY COUNCILS, AND COUNTY CORONERS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR PRIVATE PASSENGER MOTOR VEHICLES OWNED BY THEM, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEPARTMENT MAY ISSUE SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES TO MAYORS.

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

SECTION    1.    Article 22, Chapter 3, Title 56 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

    Section 56-3-2150.    The department may issue special motor vehicle license plates to members of municipal and county councils, and to county coroners, and mayors of this State for private passenger motor vehicles owned by them. The biennial fee for these special license plates is the same as the fee provided in Section 56-3-2020, and only one plate may be issued to a councilman, or coroner, or mayor. The plate must be issued or revalidated biennially for the regular registration and licensing period.

    Section 56-3-2160.    The special plates must be of the same size as regular motor vehicle license plates, but must be of a distinctive design and bear those letters and numerals the department prescribes. The plates must be issued or revalidated biennially for the regular registration and licensing period."

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