A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 56-3-115 SO AS TO PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES MAY ADD A NOTATION TO A PRIVATE PASSENGER-CARRYING MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE OWNER MAY HAVE TOURETTE SYNDROME.

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

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

"Section 56-3-115.    The Department of Motor Vehicles may add a notation to a private passenger-carrying motor vehicle registration to indicate the driver may have Tourette syndrome. The application for this special motor vehicle registration notation must include an original certificate from a licensed physician, as defined in Section 40-47-20, that certifies the applicant has Tourette syndrome. The 'Tourette syndrome' notation would appear only when a law enforcement check is run on the vehicle's license plate through the department's online interface with law enforcement to alert the officer that the driver may have Tourette syndrome."

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

----XX----
