The bill H. 3292 proposes amendments to Section 56-2-105 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically regarding the operation of golf carts. It allows certain municipalities and counties to enact ordinances permitting golf carts to operate at night in designated areas within their jurisdictions, provided that the golf carts are equipped with working headlights and rear lights. The bill outlines that municipalities with jurisdiction over barrier islands can create such ordinances, and if a barrier island or county is not under municipal jurisdiction, the county can enact similar regulations.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for political subdivisions to reduce the operational area for permitted golf carts from four miles to a minimum of 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 existing restrictions on golf cart operations. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
