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 amendment mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) 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 plates to the DMV for approval.

Additionally, the bill outlines the general specifications for license plates, including size, visibility requirements, and the issuance of revalidation stickers. It maintains that license plates must be durable and issued at appropriate intervals, with specific provisions for vehicles over twenty-six thousand pounds. The bill emphasizes that the new commemorative plates will be a part of the regular issuance process during the specified period, ensuring that they are recognized as a significant part of South Carolina's history. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
