Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 56-3-4800, Relating To Sons Of Confederate Veterans License Plates, Distribution Of Fees, And Prepaid Applications, So As To Provide These License Plates Shall Not Contain A Confederate Flag, And To Provide Upon Revalidation Of These Special License Plates, Special License Plates That Do Not Contain A Confederate Flag Must Be Issued To Replace Special License Plates That Contain Confederate Flags.
AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina's existing law regarding Sons of Confederate Veterans special license plates by prohibiting the use of Confederate flags on these plates. Under the new legislation, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles may continue to issue these specialty license plates for private passenger vehicles and motorcycles, but with a key change: the plates cannot display a Confederate flag. When current plate holders come up for revalidation (every two years), they will be required to replace any existing plates featuring a Confederate flag with new versions that do not include such imagery. The bill maintains the existing $30 fee for these special plates, which is charged in addition to standard vehicle registration costs. The new requirements will take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval, mandating that all Sons of Confederate Veterans license plates be flag-free moving forward.
