Bill Summary
A bill to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by amending Section 56-3-1240, relating to Display of license plates; motorcycles equipped with vertically mounted brackets; missing plates, so as to PROVIDE THAT A VEHICLE MAY NOT BE STOPPED FOR HAVING A FRAME ON ITS LICENSE PLATE THAT OBSCURES THE LICENSE PLATE LETTERS OR NUMBERS IN THE ABSENCE OF A VIOLATION OF ANOTHER LAW.
AI Summary
This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to provide that a vehicle may not be stopped for having a frame on its license plate that obscures the license plate letters or numbers, in the absence of a violation of another law. The bill clarifies the existing law regarding the display of license plates, including the requirements for motorcycle license plates, and prohibits obscuring the license plate with certain items like trailer hitches. The key change is that law enforcement officers are prohibited from stopping a vehicle solely for having a license plate frame that obscures the plate, unless there is another motor vehicle law violation.
