The bill H. 3292 seeks to amend Section 56-2-105 of the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding golf cart permits and their operation. The proposed changes allow certain municipalities and counties to enact ordinances permitting golf carts to operate at night in designated areas within their jurisdictions, provided the golf carts are equipped with working headlights and rear lights. The bill specifies that municipalities with jurisdiction over barrier islands can create such ordinances, as can counties where barrier islands are not under municipal jurisdiction.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing provisions related to the operation of golf carts by allowing political subdivisions to reduce the operational area from four miles to no less than two miles and to create separate golf cart paths on highways, provided certain safety measures are met. It also clarifies that while municipalities and counties can allow nighttime operation, they cannot amend other restrictions on golf cart operation outlined in the section. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
