Bill > H3175

This bill amends South Carolina's vehicle licensing laws to require the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue special license plates commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2032. The new license plates will be designed by the South Carolina Revolutionary War Sestercentennial Commission and must include specific design elements: the words "Where the Revolutionary War Was Won", a flag with the word "LIBERTY" in white on an indigo background, and a gorget (a type of historical neck armor) in an upper corner, which references the historic Moultrie Flag. The bill provides context by highlighting South Carolina's significant contributions to the Revolutionary War, noting that the state experienced over 200 skirmishes and battles, and was crucial in the American fight for independence. The legislation maintains existing license plate requirements, such as plate dimensions, retroreflective materials, and fee structures, while adding this special commemorative plate option. The new license plates will be issued for private passenger vehicles and motorcycles during the specified time period, celebrating the state's revolutionary history.
