SECTION 1.  Section 56-3-14210 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 

    Section 56-3-14210.  (A) The Department of Motor Vehicles shall issue "University of South Carolina 2017 and, 2022, and 2024 Women's Basketball National Champions" special license plates to owners of private passenger motor vehicles, as defined in Section 56-3-630, or motorcycles as defined in Section 56-3-20, registered in their names.

    (B) The University of South Carolina may submit to the department for its approval the emblem, seal, or other symbol it desires to be used for its respective special license plate.

    (C) The requirements for production, collection, and distribution of fees for the plate are those set forth in Section 56-3-8100.  The biennial fee for this plate is the regular registration fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3 of this title plus an additional fee of seventy dollars.  Any portion of the additional seventy-dollar fee not set aside to defray costs of production and distribution must be distributed to the fund established for the University of South Carolina pursuant to Section 56-3-3710(B) used for the purposes provided in that section.

    (D) License number "1" for the "University of South Carolina 2017, and 2022, and 2024 Women's Basketball National Champions" license plates are reserved for the University of South Carolina Women's Basketball Coach.

    (E) The department must issue to registrants who have a license plate commemorating only the 2017 Women's Basketball National Championship or only the 2017 and 2022 Women's Basketball National Championship the license plate commemorating both the 2017,  and 2022, and 2024 national championships once the 2017 or 2022 license plate reaches the end of its ten-year lifecycle.  This subsection does not apply to registrants who choose to switch to the "2017 and, 2022, and 2024" license plate on their own.

 

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