Bill > S0869

This bill amends Section 56-3-780 of the South Carolina Code of Laws to create a permanent license plate for tribal governments located within the state, similar to those already issued for state government, regional government, county government, and municipal government vehicles. The existing law, which allows for permanent license plates for vehicles operated by the State or its political subdivisions, will now explicitly include tribal governments. These permanent plates will be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and will cost a two-dollar fee, which covers both registration and the plate itself. The plates will display "South Carolina," a unique number, and a new prefix "TG" to specifically identify tribal government vehicles, alongside the existing prefixes for other government entities. The bill also reiterates the DMV's authority to issue permanent plates to law enforcement vehicles and charge a reasonable fee for any accompanying decals.
