TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 57-5-135 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MUST NOTIFY IN WRITING EACH MEMBER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN WHOSE HOUSE OR SENATORIAL DISTRICT A HIGHWAY PROJECT IS OR IS TO BE LOCATED WHEN A PUBLIC HEARING OR PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING THE PROJECT IS TO BE CONDUCTED AT LEAST TEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE HEARING OR MEETING.
Amend Title to conform
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 57-5-135. The Department of Transportation must notify in writing each member of the General Assembly in whose House or Senatorial district a highway project is or is to be located when a public hearing or public meeting concerning the project is to be conducted at least ten days prior to the hearing or meeting."
SECTION 2. Section 38-77-30(7) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(7) `Motor vehicle' means every self-propelled vehicle which is designed for use upon a highway, including trailers and semitrailers designed for use with these vehicles, and also including farm tractors or other self-propelled farm implements used upon a highway, but excepting traction engines, road rollers, farm trailers, tractor cranes, power shovels, and well-drillers, and every vehicle which is propelled by electric power obtained from overhead wires but not operated upon rails. For purposes of this chapter, the term automobile has the same meaning as motor vehicle. Nothing in this item may be construed to require the purchase of liability insurance or registration of farm vehicles."
SECTION 3. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 38-77-370. No automobile insurer doing business in this State may use the fact that its insured, who was a South Carolina resident at the time the ticket was issued, paid an out-of-state motor vehicle speeding ticket, wherein no trial or other adjudicatory proceeding attended by the insured was held, as evidence of the fault of its insured, as a basis for imposing a surcharge on the insured's policy premium."
SECTION 4. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
