A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 56-3-2010, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATES, SO AS TO DELETE THE PROVISION THAT RESTRICTS THE NUMBER OF DUPLICATE LICENSE PLATES THAT MAY BE ISSUED TO A SOUTH CAROLINA MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS OR A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND TO PROVIDE THAT DUPLICATE PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATES ISSUED TO A SOUTH CAROLINA MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS OR A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY MUST BEAR THE SAME NUMERALS FOLLOWED BY A DIFFERENT LETTER OF THE ALPHABET.

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

SECTION    1.    Section 56-3-2010(A) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(A)    The Department of Motor Vehicles shall provide, upon proper application being made, special personalized motor vehicle license plates to the owner of a private passenger motor vehicle and motorcycles. The personalized plates must be of the design and bear the letters and numerals the department prescribes. However, there may be no duplication of registration license plates, except South Carolina members of the United States Congress or members of the South Carolina General Assembly may purchase a maximum of the original and two duplicate registration license plates. Duplicate license plates issued to a South Carolina member of the United States Congress or a member of the South Carolina General Assembly must bear the same numerals followed by a different letter of the alphabet. The department, in its discretion, may refuse the issue of letter combinations which may carry connotations offensive to good taste and decency and may not assign to a person not holding the relevant office letters or numerals denoting the holder to have a public office."

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

----XX----
