A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING ARTICLE 147 TO CHAPTER 3, TITLE 56 SO AS TO PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES MAY ISSUE "FALLEN OFFICER" SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES.

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

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

"Article 147

The fee for each special license plate is the regular motor vehicle license fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3, Title 56. Carolina C.O.P.S. shall submit to the department for its approval the proposed design it desires to be used for this special license plate honoring South Carolina's fallen law enforcement officers.

    (C)    The guidelines for the production, collection, and distribution of fees for a special license plate under this section must meet the requirements of Section 56-3-8100."
