The bill H. 3175 proposes an amendment to Section 56-3-1230 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the specifications and issuance of license plates. The key change introduced by this bill is the requirement for the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue license plates that commemorate the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the American Revolution. This special license plate will be available for private passenger vehicles and motorcycles from January 1, 2026, until December 31, 2032. The South Carolina Revolutionary War Sestercentennial Commission is tasked with submitting the design and symbols for the commemorative plate to the department for approval.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing specifications for license plates, including size, visibility requirements, and the issuance of new plates at regular intervals. It also stipulates that the plates must be made of durable materials to ensure a minimum service life of five years. The amendment does not alter the existing provisions regarding the issuance of revalidation stickers or the financial arrangements for the production of new plates. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
