EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:
Enactment of this bill would have no fiscal impact on the General Fund of the State nor on federal and/or other funds.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT IMPACT:
There are currently 1,000 Purple Heart license plates issued by the Department of Public Safety statewide. Further, there are 269 incorporated municipalities in South Carolina. Given the relatively small number of license plates in relation to the number municipalities, the fiscal impact is estimated to be minimal.
